Last year I did exactly this. New laptop to run everything.
I got a MSI Gaming Laptop with an excellent screen. 8GB RAM; 126GB SSD and 1TB HDD; i7 processor.
My main concern, and what I was really after, was a number of USB3 ports. It came with 2x USB3 Type A, 1x USB3 Type C, 1x USB2.
It runs all my software and I do some preprocessing with CCDStack and sometimes PaintShop.
The other issue was the battery. With everything humming along I get about three to three and a half hours out of the battery.
