Looking for a Laptop

I am a video editor looking for a laptop to edit my videos when I'm traveling. The program of choice will be HitFilm Pro.

Specs:

  • i7 (Please :))
  • 32GB RAM support (Fine with upgrading it myself it would be cheaper)
  • Good graphics card (960 minimum)
  • Under 6lbs
  • 15"ish Monitor
  • 1TB HHD and at least 500gGB SSD (Fine with upgrading it myself it would be cheaper)

I've looked online and after some research, everything is clear... as mud.

 

Here's some resources I was going by:

also these specs are pretty unrealistic, 32gb ram and 960 with 1.5tb of storage, your not really gonna find that anywhere

the closest your going to get is with the new razer blade, your not gonna get 32gb ram or 15inch monitor, but it's one of the only laptops on the market under six pounds designed for gaming

That's why I said I was fine with upgrading the components myself... I have just been struggling to find laptop motherboard's max supported ram. Usually they just say what it comes with, not what it supports.

razer's ram is soldered a believe so what you get is what you get
