XMG APEX 15 is one that comes to mind

3950x + 2070 something

When I say several I mean like 2 m.2 slots.

Depending on what you're needing this much computation power for, if it's not overly latency sensitive or color accurate, streaming the video feed from the cloud used for compute maybe an option.

2 m.2 and a 2.5

Well I don't personally avail myself of remote workstations, from what I understand for many workflows it's a very good option.

only 2.6KG? Thats less than my main laptop!
(granted my laptop is almost 20 years old but still)

I can hardly beleive that managed to fit a 3950x in there

I do video and picture work on it and I'm bad about being a power user. Lol. But I only like to have 17inch screens. I'm weird I guess. Lol.

Even for a modern computer, less than 6 lb is fairly light for a business speced laptop.

It's not bad that's for sure.

My laptop without my custom extra battery is 10lbs+

Honesty, I would take a 17 inch, touch screen, and mobile apu with the ability to fold 360.

Its a pentium 4 though, so it kinda has to be

there arent 16 core apus

using a laptop for FOLDING!?!

just put a PC dedicated for that!

I don't think AMD makes APUs with more than six cores. It's kind of because if you need more than that you're often going for discrete competition on the GPU also.

there are 8 core ones now

but pretty hard to find outside of laptops

Cool, still probably a fairly niche market for that.

I was thinking like the 5950x from amd. Lol. Just throttle it down and limit its power draw.

its more for businesses that need good cpu but dont care about the gpu

Well if there are 3950x in laptop im sure a 5950x wouldnt be a problem, just gotta wait for some oem to do it

You're going to need to throttle it a lot if you want to stick that in a laptop with any kind of battery life. That thing draws twice as much power as most laptop processors use.

I mean like an hp envy where you can essentially turn it into a huge powerful tablet.

i use my P4 laptop for basic SD editing, how much harder is 4k+ to edit??

Huge.

just an 8 core with 32gb plus should do the trick

unless we're talking 8k or higher

and getting an 8 core laptop is easy thanks to amd

unlike the 16 core laptops which are exceedingly limiting in options

For video editing, wouldn't going for a more powerful GPU and a eight-core processor with maybe 32 gigs of RAM not be enough. My understanding is most video editing can take advantage of the GPU acceleration.

I mean you're talking about files that are in the gigabytes for a short run.

True enough.

I'm just greedy. Lol. I want a laptop that can do it all and not need to be upgraded or fiddled with for years to come. Its the reason why I've been holding off on buying one. Because I'll find one that has some of the specs I want but then doesn't have a touch screen or is smaller than what I want. Lol.

anything packing that much hardware in a laptop form factor likely will cook itself long before it become obsolete, heat management is a massive issue with these

Idk about you all but I wish you could custom build a laptop like a desktop. But unfortunately that's just not possible.

Then again, my P4 laptop is still kicking so idk

I specifically got my current laptop without a touchscreen after my last laptop. My last one had the touch screen part start dying where it would randomly click making the laptop basically useless. I ended up having to pay $550 to have the screen replaced. Granted, I did have to pay a shop to do it because at the time I wasn't comfortable disassembling a laptop to that point even though I built desktops for years. Even without the labor, the screen was quoted as $300.

Ouch!! That's a lot of money. I think for that price I'd have gotten a PC monitor and converted it a desktop.
