I really need some help picking a laptop soon
I was recommended a T495 a month ago but Don't have the money for it here in Denmark and can't fint one used. My best option is to get a used laptop with a budget around $850
I need it for HD video editing: 1080P, recording music and light photo editing. Most of the time I will probably be writing on it
and making powerpoints, and do on-sceen recordings (camtasia).
So far I've thought of
Lenovo T480 with 16GB dual channel ram and i5 8250U
Lenovo T480s but not a big fan of soldered ram but if 16GB (2x8GB) dual channel RAM can do the jo I'm fine
I know these above models are without dedicated GPU other than intel integrated GPU.
Thinkpad X395
13,3" FHD 1920x1080, IPS Multitouch skærm.
AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U
Radeon Vega Mobile
However for the X395 i fear Thermal throtteling would make the T480s a better choice since it's CPU would perform better
I'm not sure if this AMD ryzen is better due to the GPU, i do prefere the build quality (tank-like) of the Thinkpad T series.
In general i like lenovo due to the keyboard and build quality, but i might be biased toward that brand. I also love
their cool, quiet and power effecient operation (yea I'm definately biased )
Any suggestions?

Lenovo ThinkPad X395 Laptop Review: A fight for the hegemony of business laptops
Notebookcheck.com reviews the ThinkPad X395, a 13.3-inch subnotebook that Lenovo equips with an AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 3300U processor that integrates a Radeon RX Vega 6 GPU, 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB Samsung SSD. While we put the X395 through its paces, we will also discuss the differences between it...

Lenovo ThinkPad T480s (i5-8250U, FHD) Laptop Review
Not everyone needs an i7, dedicated GPU, and WQHD display. Even without those assets, the T480s is still a dependable office companion whose formidable performance exceeds that of many competitors. At around $1,600, is today’s Core i5-8250U + FHD configuration the one the majority would appreciate?
