Editing Laptop

Hi, I'm sorry if this is inappropriate to post here, but I wanted to ask if anyone knows of a 15.6" (or smaller) laptop with a color accurate panel, a GTX 1050TI, an i5 of some sort, and good battery life? I need a laptop for video editing and rendering at 1080p, it seems a 1050ti will be plenty good, the benefits of an i7 seem too negligible to spend the extra on it, and I would ideally bring just the laptop around. I work in the Adobe Suite (After Effects, Premiere. Photoshop) and I don't want to blow too much money.

The only one that fits the bill for you (at least based on my observation) would be the new Asus ZenBook Pro UX550VE. I wish to recommend you the Dell XPS 15 or Lenovo Yoga 720 15" but since you want the GTX 1050 Ti, that's the only option for now. The Asus has 73Wh and weighs less than 4lbs (less than 2kg). If you do go for the Dell XPS 15, you'll get regular GTX 1050 instead but packs in more juice (whopping 97Wh) and slightly heavier (but still at 2kg ish). These 3 are some of the few with color accurate screen, lightweight, decent GPU and big battery.

I second this. However be aware of overheating issue as the cooling design is quite bad. (Hence some tweaking like undervolting CPU is needed)
