I am finally getting to upgrade to a laptop that would work better with Premiere and Photoshop, and possibly After Effects.  My IT department has not been that helpful “get what you want for around $2,000.”  I work from a few different buildings - so I need a laptop rather than a desktop. IT suggested lookjing at Lenovo. I just got an email for what I think is a deal - $2,250 for Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 Intel (16") with RTX™ 5080 - Ultra 9 275HX Processor, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080, GPU 16GB GDDR7, Memoriy: 32 GB DDR5-6400MT/s (CSODIMM)(2 x 16 GB), Storage: 1 TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5 Performance TLC

Thanks for any insight!
