I’m shopping for the best PC I can get for my money. I’d like to stay under $1400. I’m seeking a PC that’ll be capable to handle video mixing with NO issues. I currently have a Dell XPS15 (from about 2011!) and it’s showing it’s age and needs to be replaced. I’d like a PC with HDMI out on a second video card to handle my video mixing.
Please don’t suggest a Mac. I bleed Apple, but I only like using VDJ with a PC. I’d like an i7 processor or better.
Suggestions please?

I have a Lenovo C940 14" for using with VDJ. I'm all video and although it doesn't have a dedicated card the latest Intel graphics are perfectly good enough anyway.
HDMI out is through an adapter and works fine.
You'd be lucky to get anything Apple for $1400 anyway let alone i7 and dedicated card.

I got my 2015 with an i7 and it has a dedicated graphics card for $800 bucks!!
You can find them all over here in the states.

Only issues with Dell are their general quality and the horrible audio latency on some machines.
If you get a good one then well done!

https://xoticpc.com/collections/sager-clevo-laptops?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIz4iQ8eTH5wIVSdbACh0GmgGKEAAYASAAEgIrxPD_BwE Try shopping here. We VJ's shop for what is really a mid or higher range gaming lappy to handle the vids. I'm typing on a Xoticpc by Sager now, been using this lappy 4 years now. An affordable power house that has worked perfect from day one. And don't worry about a fancy video card, this pc has a Nvidia GTX 1670 that doesn't play music videos as well as the onboard Intel grahics board does. JMHO
