I dont want anything less than 512gb SSD. not sure if its NVMe or not. But as long as it has USB-c. 4k screen would be nice but i have a 4k tv if needed. 4k output though would be great for sure. Wanna make sure im gonna get the best bang for my buck for what i wanna do with it. And its gonna render 3d scenes and objects etc and video well. Unless yall know of another laptop not in these links thats better for about the same price then let me know.

Thanks in advanced for yalls help!

I never thought a 4k screen on a laptop is worth it, even on the 17" screen it is too small of a dot pitch to be usable unless you are half eagle.

I like the www.xoticpc.com site, you can customize any of the laptops at check out with whatever drive you want, and even change things like the thermal paste, brand of RAM used, and they can even do a dead pixel and burn in test for you.
