Laptop for Photo/Light Video Editing.

[Broseidon, Lord of the Bro]

Hello, new user, long time lurker.

 

I'm on the search for a new laptop for Photo and light (mostly 1080p) video editing.

 

I've had my eye on the XPS 15 9570 for awhile and I'm stuck on wether or not the 4k screen is worth it for the battery life penalty.

 

I'm posting to see if anyone either; has this latop or suggestions that may be offer better specs or features.

 

Thanks in advance.

Where are you from? Budget? Any preference on weight and battery life?

From the US, Budget up to around 1500 freedom units, but can go a little higher if needed, i'd be willing to forgo some weight savings for better battery life, but don't wanna haul around something that weighs almost as much as my desktop.

Prefer min how many hours of battery life?

Min around 7-8 if possible. would also be nice if they manufacture has some sort of "quick charge" for topping off real fast, but not a requirement. 

 

one thing to add as well, though I wish i didnt have to specify this, Id like to have a full size sd card reader, a lot of the newer premium laptops are getting rid of them, and id like to be able to not have to carry a sd card reader dongle
