Spec it out with the storage and RAM you want, BOOM a great laptop in your budget. You can even spec 32GB RAM within your budget. You won't be disappointed with the Ryzen 5 4600H either...

Do you recommend these laptops? Never heard of them but looking to purchase a new powerful laptop for video editing. Colour accuracy is an important factor though.

Thanks for everyone's opinion and feedback!

Ok, so our budget is maxed out at R20500, it is a lot of money so want to be 100% sure before I buy something...

I did some snooping around and I am really interested in the Gigabyte Aorus 5 with GTX1650 and i7 9750H and the other option is the WootBook II 2060 Ryzen 7 4800H, but I don't know this rebranded (TongFang) laptops at all...

Are the WootBooks any good?
How is the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H compared to the Intel i7 9750H?
Suck that the battery is only a 3 cell 46Wh...

One more thing that is unclear, on the WootWare website, there are options for HDD and RAM and then optional OS and Warranty extensions, now my question is, do you have to choose RAM and HDD, can't I buy cheaper RAM separately and use the current HDD that I have in the Laptop I have now?

Any feedback on the WootBooks would be really appreciated!

While I agree with the general sentiment of the wootbook it is an untested price of hardware and I've noticed a few already available second hand even though they were just released.
The new asus tuf ryzen machines may be an decent option.
But if your not in a rush can have answer by tomorrow about an awesome i7 7th MSI 1060 machine.
Want to check specs and details before I say anything.

Thanks for everyone's input, I really appreciate it!
Ended up spending a bit more than planned, haha, got the WootBook Ultra II 2060.
Really impressed with the laptop, it is a beast for the price I payed for it!
