My apologies to Rongnongno, but my recommendation is Apple. If your laptop is going to be the only computer used for this task, you should look at the larger ones. My personal preference is 13" MacBook Pro (not much editing done here, but very portable) in combination with an iMac 27" 5k Retina where I do most all of my work. All my photo storage is on external devices; some attached directly with most of the storage on Synology NAS systems. Best of luck with whatever you do.
Agree with Apple. A little pricey but they last forever. Daughters have MPBs, the most recent being a 13" that she loves. My setup is a 2010 iMac which still runs well. IMO no need for the i7 chipset as others have mentioned. Personally I use an iPad Air for portability, but no processing, and do all processing on the desktop.
Best of luck.
