I need to find a laptop with few criteria

[blastreaper101]

Hello I'm a fellow Canadian citizen looking for a laptop with a buying potential of 1500$ Canadian dollars.

- I need to be able to edit and render videos and to casually be able to play 60hz 1080p low-medium recent games.

- The problem is I'm moving a lot in a day. I need to carry my computer often so id prefer a 15.6 po maximum size laptop.

- Last one, I need to have a full SD card reader on it, it has become essential in my workflow speed and that might be the most important criteria of the bunch

 

I have been looking for laptops online lately, but I was unable to find something that suits my needs properly because "Full SD card reader option" is not a filter on web sites like Newegg and Amazon and those slot peripherals are getting rarer. Any idea please, it could help a lot!

I am not sure how your workflow works, but maybe you would consider something like this, which would significantly increase your options.

I also found this laptop https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-15-6-4k-ultra-hd-touch-screen-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-1tb-ssd-gun-gray/6373043.p?skuId=6373043 but it is only available from Best Buy, and looks a bit old.

The ThinkPad X1 Extreme apparently also has an SD card reader, but might be above budget.

Also, the Dell XPS 15 has an SD card reader as well.

A dongle is unfortunately not an option in my case scenario and this laptop is in US$ if I'm not wrong

If you are willing to take an Amazon Renewed laptop and upgrade the RAM, here is a laptop that might work for you:

https://www.amazon.ca/Dell-XPS7590-7541SLV-i7-9750H-DDR4-2666MHz-InfinityEdge/dp/B07YCLJPPW

 

This one might be better, doesn't require any upgrades
