I'm looking for the best laptop for my needs. I write music in CPU intensive software, and use a sketch program and Inkspace for graphic design. I also intend to be able play games smoothly at medium to high graphics such as Doom, Warzone and Civilization VI, to name a few. I was initially looking at the new Zephyrus G14 for my needs, but the lack of an additional DisplayPort put me off, especially because I wanted to take advantage of AMD for multi-tasking with multiple displays at home (it remains a strong contender for me). I was also looking at a Lenovo Y740 after a previous suggestion, but my budget has increased and I want a better grasp of the possibilities. This laptop is intended to be my all around "workhorse", as my old one is terrible and I need the portability.
Budget is between $1'000 USD to $2'500 USD, but I can push it if necessary
Should be sturdy enough where I don't have to worry too much if I bump it every now and then
No weight limit
Battery life should be decent (4+ hours with high use or similar to Zeph G14)
Higher than 60hz refresh rate
The closer the color accuracy, the better (if possible)
DisplayPort
If Intel CPU, should have Thunderbolt (with PD)
If AMD, should have USB-C with DisplayPort compatibility
2-3 USB-A ports
Doesn't need a webcam, but it would be welcome
Should be capable with 2 external displays
