New laptop for Lightroom?

I would recomend this if you don't care about weight or size too much, but need the performance: http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/inspiron-15-5577-gaming-laptop

What kind of videos do you edit? 1080p, 1440p, 720p, etc. and what camera do you use?

I finally ditched Apple, and I'm stoked.
I ended up with this (more or less) and have been super happy.

I think first you need to decide what specs are important to you.
For me it was:
At least UHD, if not 4k
Quad core
16GB RAM
SSD


Something like this will be far more computer than you get get for that price in a Mac

The Dell are usually decent value for money. I recommend you the Dell XPS 13 or XPS 15 models for photoshop.

From what I've heard, Adobe is finally working to upgrade Lightroom to make it more efficient and powerful. This means it will likely be able to utilize the power of your computer better. I'd recommend something with a Quad Core processor, at least 16gb of RAM, decent GPU (Dedicated, not the Intel IRIS graphics) and a decent sized SSD (I have a 250gb SSD in my MBP and it's not enough usually, even though I use externals it's full of shit and LR always takes up a bunch of space on it).

I would look into maybe a 1 generation old Dell XPS or Inspiron gaming series. Another good source of budget power is Lenovos line of gaming laptops (used to be the y500, not sure what they call them now). I recently bought an XPS 15 and I am loving it for any kind of video editing/content creation/gaming etc.

as everyone said:
4 core processor (i7 if intel)
8+gb of RAM
dedicated graphics
UHD screen (or something with accurate color) for editing
SSDs help a lot too in making lightroom run smoothly.
