Are you looking to do the encoding/exporting on the laptop as well or just the editing?

Yes (i forgot to put it)

Depending on budget I would look at one of the i7 7700HQ laptops. Should be really solid. They are getting cheaper since the launch of the 8 Series.The 8850H is more expensive, but you get 2 logical cores, so that should help your exports.

do you know of a 7700qh under 900$? (if possible with a ssd)

I can't speak for the quality of the laptop personally, but the specs seem good for the price.

That Dell's name is super confusing, but the specs list it as an i7 7700HQ.

Budget? Any preference on weight and battery life? Do you need good sRGB display?

First one is very mediocre. Second model is OK-mediocre

Their looking for under $900, so mediocre is probably going to be best bet for that CPU.

What other options have you seen for these in that price range? I have to buy similar machines for work and found around $1500 USD has been the median for Quality/Performance on that CPU.

Oh sorry I didn't notice the price tag

but my suggestion still wouldn't change.

No P series then go with something a bit low-end

You can still have great cooling and expandability but it should be noticed that Clevo devices usually requires better caring that other SKUs from brands
