Laptop specs advice + content creation

[Folkloric]

Hey! I'm needing to buy a new laptop (yes, laptop only not a desk top) and I do some content creation stuff. What graphics cards and other features should I look at? Im looking at a budget ranging $600-$800. Thanks!

What kind of content creation? 
Photo editing for example the gpu won’t be too vital, but for video editing it would be.

On the other side the concern of time comes into play especially with 3D modeling, animation and such, where you can do a lot with quite a little but if minutes matter you’d need substantially better hardware.

Honestly within that price range for new hardware you’re looking at low end gaming laptops or decent enough consumer laptops without a dgpu, depending on need. That kind of budget will get you either basic RTX 3050 mobile machines, usually requiring some out of the box upgrades since they’ll only come with 8gb of ram and fairly mediocre storage capacity at that price point. Or you can get 11th/12th gen laptops with no dgpu but with substantially better specs besides that.
