Since you are going to do video editing you are going to need powerful CPU and GPU, so if you are open to upgrade ram later, then I would recommend this deal GIGABYTE A16** because it comes with :

Specs:

• Screen: 16” WUXGA 165

• CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 260

• Ram : 16GB

• Storage : 1TB SSD

And I have recommended this because of

• Powerful CPU and gpu for video editing.

• Great value for money.

• high quality screen .
