Laptop requirement help!

[rogvid700]

Hey guys!

I've been looking around for months now for a laptop that can fit a few requirements I need and can't seem to find anything that comfortably fits what I need without overly-sacrificing something.

I need a laptop that can handle some stress as I will be using it primarily for video editing and heavy rendering tasks, that also has the form factor of an ultra-book. So relatively light and not bulky. As well as one other thing. I don't plan on using it for gaming, however I need it to be able to at least run Overwatch comfortably. A game that isn't incredibly demanding but still seems to be right on the edge of working in what I have researched. I'm hoping some of you have some ideas that I haven't possibly come across or considered.

 

Budget: $2,300

 

Requirements:

- Dell XPS sized form factor

- i7 Quad-Core CPU or something that is meant for rendering video (8th Gen if possible)

- Can safely run Overwatch (60fps at 1080p)

- 4K Panel

Things I want, but not required:

- Touch screen panel

- Pen/Stylus support

- 360 degree hinge

- Good battery life

 

Thanks!

For video editing/rendering, you're gonna want a big beefy thing.

But you want ultrabook formfactor, which mean not big beefy thing.

 

Best I can think of off the top of my head is the Razer lineup. Most other brands have big beefy things with good hardware, but with big Form factor, and others with bad hardware but small form factor.

 

But if you want a 4k screen you're gonna need $2400 USD, so you'll need to stretch the budget a bit.

Wouldn't a 7700hq be good for video editing?
