With a budget of 1000GBP what would be the best laptop to get for: Premiere (Heavy use) Lightroom (Heavy use) After Effects (Med-heavy Use ) Cinema 4D (Light use/To learn)?
I've been using these applications for a couple of years now on an old MBP and want to switch back to Windows since there are a load of cheap and powerful brand name laptops out/coming out.
I want the best possible technical specs for media handling software (I wont be gaming on the system, I have a desktop for that) for the price given. I've heard that I should be looking for systems with high VRAM and that NVIDIA's GPU's are more suited to gamers? Should I definitely be heading for AMD? Only laptop suggestions please.
I don't want to wait too long so thought i'd ask here for enthusiast advice. Here is the list I've made in order of preference. Which one should I get:

1. Determine what card your apps run better on (workstation of gaming)
2. Have the system custom build to your specifications.
3. Video editing is the one application that benefits from RAID so include that if affordable.
Id start you off with a selection but have no idea what ya budget is..... none of ya links worth. So I will start and the end where I am spending the most of ya money I can

What do you mean workstation of gaming?
Budget is 1000GBP.
I had a custom built laptop before and the support and build was very unreliable and i lost a lot of work so wanted to go with a brand name.
Thanks for the tip about RAID. Ive heard about it but dont really know how it works.
Those specs sound like a dream but I doubt i'd be able to afford that yet. I do lots of works for clients and my 2009 MBP is nowhere near any of those specs.
Isn't 32gb Ram overkill?

While he had build a dozen or so desktops by then, the rest of the kids in his training class were novices.... the course was 2 days. he was promoted to 1st tier support after 2 weeks. I generally like the technician to have more knowledge and ability than I do and prefer that the guy who consulted with me on component selection be the same guy who I call for TS.
