depends on your budget, resolution you're gonna be shooting in

 

would look at at an i7 laptop, with a 960m or 1050 to help with cuda, 16gb or 8gb (upgrade to 16gb yourself) and external ssd

usbC or Thunderbolt port will be good for off/onloading too.

Thank you for the replies

 

I would say at least 1080.

Whats your budget? I would recommend an alienware (13 which is quite small) 15 or 17 with an i7 and a 1060 but those are not cheap.

I was thinking about 2000-3000 Canadian.

Should be in price range

Look at what you are doing excactly and see what it needs? Does High Core Count help? Is it GPU accelerated? CUDA Performance? OpenCL Performance? There is a lot more thatwe need to know before any recommendations can be made.

 

You're generalising a lot here, so we can only suggest a laptop for the general video editor:

You might want to look into the Ryzen 7 1700 laptops since they perform the best in most video editing programms. The RX 580 in those laptop supports OpenCL and will GPU accelerate some effects.
