Requirements:

 

Able to run flawlessly: 
- Ableton Live with many plugins, VSTs, Sampler libraries
- FL Studio, Pro Tools
- Adobe - Premiere, After Effects, Animate, Illustrator, etc

- Autodesk Maya, AutoCAD, Blender, 3DS Max, etc

- Unity, Unreal Engine

- Modern FPS games
- Ability to stream and record while using any of these programs

Other requirements:

- 15.4" screen

- 1080p not 4K
- Long battery life

- Slim and light (4 pounds or less)
- Windows 10
- Not too hot to use on lap

I'll leave the budget on hold for now.  I simply want these features at a good value price.  If you make any suggestions, please include the price for this suggestion and a comment on how good the value is.  

Thanks

I have a XPS 15, they throttle when gaming so not really a good pick here.

 

The MSI GS65 Stealth Thin 8RF seems like a good pick though.

I guess if you don't mind a more gamer like aesthetic.
