Portable laptop for photo and video editing

[leviathan18]

Hello guys,

I need a laptop that is light and thin ( I dont need razor thin) that has the power to edit 4K video from a DJI Phantom and the photos from my canon 5ds (50mp)

I use:
adobe premiere pro
adobe photoshop, sometimes lightroom
capture one
alien skins exposure x3

My current SP4 isn't up to the task, I want to kill myself every time I try to edit something with it (video wise)

In my short list is the XPS 15 when its refreshed with the new cpus, but I dont know if i can get away with an MX150

How about https://www.razerzone.com/gaming-laptops/razer-blade

Saying that, I'd prefer a i7-8550U

Something like a XPS 15 (9560) has a good gfx card, but you're up to Surface Book pricing, which is another option.

I'm sure there are lots of options now.
