    32GB 1600MHz RAM, good SSD, i7-4700 or faster. The rest is personal choice. Many gaming laptops support that, and so do Dell M4800 and 6800, some HP Z-books.

    I second Alex’s suggestions. That would be a great laptop!

    You may also consider a dedicated Graphics Card. The Intel HD graphics are good, but AE is using more GPU nowadays and could really benefit from a dedicated card. Do a search on the supported Graphics Cards that AE supports and look out for those.

    I love using https://www.newegg.com. It allows you to choose a lot of ranges of a variety of different parts/speeds/resolutions etc.

    Plug in Alex’s suggestions and see what prices you get.
