Hi Everyone, this laptop isn't for me but one of my cousins who is a professional video editor, he uses premiere pro, after effects, lightroom and photoshop. He wants the laptop to be at maximum $3700, he wants it to have a 4k Adobe RGB colour accurate display, 32gb ram, i7 and at least a GTX 1060 OR 1070, he would like to at least have 500gb of solid state storage and he doesnt want it to look to much like a gaming laptop if possible. Thanks a lot guys and all help is appreciated.

xeon E3-1505M and a Quadro® M4000M

doesn't have the 4k screen not sure about the colour calibration ( bet you could configure it with a calibrator)

 

EDIT: damn i didn't see the AUD whoops 

 

EDIT 2: this could be closer to the budget

I'd say none of his workflow would benefit from Xeons or Quadros.

17in screens are the most color accurate. So. I'd say this. http://www.metabox.com.au/store/Prime-Range Grab the P670HS in whatever config. 

Then grab this panel: http://www.panelook.com/B173ZAN01.0_AUO_17.3_LCM_parameter_25358.html

And replace it yourself. That panel is currently the best 17in panel in the world hands down with the best color accuracy.
