But your name has angel in it.. very misleading

I didnt know these were a thing.. Imagine bringing that out at Starbucks!

I can definitely see where you are coming from. The plan eventually would be to build another desktop in addition to a laptop. I was prioritising a laptop first for the convenience. With my desktop cpu being 8 years old now, I thought at this stage buying a decent laptop woud be an upgrade that could do the job just as well, or ideally better than my current set up but on the move. Though I get that cooling is a big issue on laptops. Remote desktop could be a good option though!

Looking to upgrade my current desktop (i7 3770k, 16GB ram, and a 1050ti) with a laptop. I'd imagine at this stage, even the mobile 9th or 10th i7 would be a significant upgrage from my very old 3700k. I am a 3D animator using 3D software such as Maya. I'd be doing a lot of CPU heavy realtime play back of my animation. And not so much on the rendering side so I'd be happy to compromise slightly on graphics card performance. Budget wise im looking up to £1600 ($2000 USD). I prefer low profile rather than the gamer-y look. I'd be mostly using it with a 1440p ultra-wide + a 4k screen I had my eye on the Lenovo Legion 7i with an i7 10750H, but the performance of the ryzen 4800H processor has put me off intel. What do you think?
