Hi world,.

I'm currently looking to buy a laptop for editing. ideally something with high ram and memory but cost effective. this is what im looking at at the moment, however it is slightly on the high price side. Let me know your thoughts,

That looks alright, though if you're looking to do a lot of editing, a desktop would be a much better option.

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

I agree, fortunately im in the process of building a desktop, however a laptop would be ideal for portability (especially as a freelance Graphic Designer)

i mean ive just found this one and am struggling. Just want to know what are some good choices.http://www.amazon.com/HP-i7-6700HQ-Quad-Core-Processor-Touchscreen/dp/B018YIGHVK/?tag=tdrvr-20

Something with an i7, at least 8GB ram, and preferably Quadro graphics card

I got this one

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-thinkpad-yoga-2-in-1-14-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-256gb-solid-state-drive-black/4456400.p?skuId=4456400

 

It's got a 2.5in SSD slot and M.2.

 

Only 8gb of RAM and i5, but it runs photo editing programs well. It's got a 940M that plays Dark Souls 3 at lowest settings 720p smoothly. 

 

It also has a built in active stylus.
