Gaming laptops like the Asus ROGs also tend to be quite powerful desktop replacements. When I had one, it had double the RAM of standard PCs, an i7 when i3s were typical, and intakes/exhausts like jet engines. The only time I managed to overheat it was doing some very CPU+GPU intensive stuff in >105°F/40°C ambient temperatures, but that’s understandable. Although they’re sold for gaming, they can really crank through database queries and, given the good graphics cards, I would imagine video editing as well. They are a little thicker than a mac, but they usually have plenty of I/O ports so you don’t need to haul around a bag full of dongles, making them actually smaller, lighter, and easier to travel with.
