help Help an old member out ?

[NotBanksy]

I haven't been on this forum in years as I lost my account in the great migration and never got it back, if my posts are in the wrong let me know and I'll change them.

I'm looking for a laptop or 2 in 1 that I can do light video editing and photo edits on, along with daily use of Office and browsing. I already have a machine at home which games perfectly fine so this laptop is just for work. I built my pc awhile back,it games and edits great but I've not kept in the loop really since then.

Whats good anymore? Does anyone recommend any models or brands ? Or a laptop with good screen quality for production?

All I ever see mentioned is the Dell xps 15 or a macbook 

TDLR- I'm in the market for a laptop but have no clue what is even out anymore, please help this UK nerd out

• Good screen (99%RGB/sRGB)
• Video/photo edit capable 
  • Bonus-
  • Upgradable 
  • Under £1500
  • Doesn't weigh as much as a desktop

Basically they get mentioned becuaee MacBooks are the thin and light king and the XPS is the closest you can get without destroying your wallet. However the MacBook is not upgradeable and that is going the way of the dodo on lighter machines.  Also with the MacBook you really should use final cut which costs £300 on top of the pro 13” being not very cheap.

 

Would stay away from 2 in 1s tbh. 
 

look at the LG Gram 15? Only 96% sRGB though
