Laptop specs for premiere?
Im planning on getting a dell xps 15 with the 6 core 8th gen i7, 16gb of ram, and a Gtx 1050 ti. Is this going to be fine in premiere? Also I’ve heard that it’s not worth getting a 4k screen because your eye cant even conceive that its 4k unless the screen is 30″ or more. Should I go for the 1080p or 4k screen?

I have the XPS15 9570 for portable work and it works very well.
A few recommendations, increase your RAM TO 32 gigs, swap out your wifi card and then underclock and repaste the CPU to counterbalance CPU throttling.
And yes, there’s no need for a 4k laptop screen. Get the HD model and you can attach a 4k monitor through HDMI.

If I got the model with 32 GB ram i would have to downgrade to the 7th gen core i7 which is quad core.

Get the 6 core 8th gen i7 and then upgrade the RAM in the future.

I’m not very good when it comes to customizing laptops so where would I have the ram/thermal pasting done?

Any computer repair shop can do it but I’d recommend that you attempt it yourself. Use a video tutorial and a laptop tools kit. The process is very simple.

One more question: I dont think the 1080 by 1920 screen has as high of a adobeRGB rating as the 4k screen. Should I be worried about this?
