Hello everyone, I've have been looking for laptops that are under 1000 USD. For da Vinci resolve 15, it is more GPU dependent and works best with Radeon GPUs. If not, I'm ok with Nvidia. I'm looking for a quad-core processor, 16 GB of ram (or 8 if the system is upgradeable), at least 512 GB of storage, and a 4 GB GPU. Can anyone help me out? The best option I found as a hp pavilion Gaming laptop with a gtx 1050 ti, a 1080p IPS 144hz display, and an i5 8300h with 8 GB of ram.

@GeneXiS_X I live in the U.S., I'm looking for a laptop under 5 pounds, but I'm fine if it is about 6 pounds and at least about 5 hours of battery.

Do you need high sRGB display? Or low sRGB is fine?

Yes it's weird that all are Lenovos but I cannot find other models that meet your requirements and budget

 

Upgrade RAM and SSD by yourself since the cost is usually cheaper
