Still photography is not nearly as stressful as video work, so most mid to higher spec machines will work, but I would pay attention to the quality of the display,(P3 gamut, or equivalent), not just the resolution. 32GB RAM is desirable as is a discrete graphics card. At least 2TB SSD.. If you want Dell, go to their website and look for Photo editing /Graphics Laptops to get a sense of what is available.

We got my wife a 17" HP laptop , lighter than her old 15" Toshiba, loves the display, I could load my photo programs if I wanted, I don't see any problems using accounting programs on a machine that is up to photo standards (retiredAuditor). BTW , my wife downloads embroidery designs , doesn't alter them but does do the downloads on the machine, Good Luck, WIN 12 is forecast for JULY!

Spend the money for a Mac. You won't sorry.
MacBook Pro? I’m considering the switch from Dell Windows desktop to MacBook Pro. Is the 16” a good choice?

I can't use the Mac for accounting program. I do have an old mac, but was looking to update for both accounting, photo and sewing. Thanks

I prefer laptops from Lenovo. They have multiple brands with different features. My laptop that I use for photo editing is a Lenovo Think Pad extreme 1: 1 TB SSD. 32 GB RAM. Dedicated video card or GPU. Make sure whatever laptop you get has the GPU with enough RAM you need for the software you will be using.

I love my Lenovo Legion
I typically plug a couple of external 4TB solid state drives into it for photo storage. I only keep final edits on my laptop with a copy on an external hard drive.
