I'm looking at buying a laptop but I'm feeling a little out of my depth with regards to specs. It will be used for gaming but also for 4K video editing and sound recording/production; my budget is £1500-£2000. I was considering the Vortex IX but a review I read had me a bit concerned about the volume of the fan noise, and I'm just generally unsure about the specs. I'm also due for some spinal surgery in the near future and a review on one of the older models mentioned they are particularly heavy, though this might have changed with the new models, but ideally I'd like whatever I buy to be on the lighter side since I'm advised not to lift anything heavier than 5lbs for 6 weeks. They are being overly cautious with that advice but if the laptop weighs closer to 10lbs then it might be a genuine problem.
Aside from that I couldn't decide on a graphics card, specifically whether the Geforce RTX 2070 was worth the quite large price jump over the RTX 2060. I've also had conflicting advice on RAM, with some people saying 32GB is complete overkill and others saying it'll be a requirement for editing 4k videos. I was mainly considering the Vortex IX because I couldn't find many other laptops at PC Specialist with 4k screens, but I might be barking up the wrong tree. Any advice on models or specs would be appreciated.
