If you do not truly need portability, a desktop computer would be better than a laptop.

Screen size is one factor: I have a laptop for travel and almost never attempt editing on its screen. Too hard to see, very frustrating. My monitor at home is 27", which is very good for editing. Also, you want to be sure your monitor screen is not reflective so you will be able to use it in various lighting conditions.

Internal components: Laptops tend to be stuck at whatever they are when purchased. Some have expandability, but limited by the size of the internal space. Desktops can run into similar problems if the tower does not have enough room for adding components, but in general they are much more compatible with upgrades. Processing speed, RAM, and storage capacity are important factors to keep in mind.

Price: A desktop with the memory, processor, video cards, etc. that you want will be less expensive than the same/similar in a laptop. Less room, smaller components in the laptop; more room allows the components to be larger and less expensive to build.

Something to consider. But if a laptop is what you need, consider the good recommendations you have already received.
