Hi Folks,
I have a budget of AU 1,500 (give or take) and I am needing to purchase a laptop suitable for video editing and some basic animation and graphics.

I will be using Premier pro and Creative suite mainly.

I understand the specs will need to include:
Quad core i7 processor
16GB RAM
Large internal SSD drive
Quadro mobile GPU?
15inch hi res or 17 inch screen size
USB 3.0 ports
HDMI video output

Working in television we were supported by technical staff when it came to our edit suites so to be honest, I haven't much technical knowledge! I now am moving into remote work and need something powerful, reliable and mobile.

I've used both PCs and Macs and while I do prefer Macs...I don't like the price tag.

I have read that the Dell XPs 15 (not the use 4k model) isn't bad.
I also don't mind buying second hand if possible

Can you help?
Cheers,
Miranda
