These recommendations are based on the utility specific to work profile. Different program will have varied computational need. The software may be same but the file size and level of detail would change the hardware requirement.
Budget mentioned will suffice the requirement but if pocket allows mid range would be an ideal choice.

You will be working mostly on Adobe suite apart from a few other specific CAD programs which would require occasional heavy hardware acceleration and rendering capacity.

you need moderate to high capacity laptops for heavy GPU oriented operations and Occasional 3D processing / video encoding. Stepping up the same wouldn’t harm but don’t stress too much on pocket specially VC guys. you will have to invest in Camera and lens too.
MSI Creator 15M A10SD-465IN 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10750H, 15.6-inch (144Hz)(8GB*2/512GB M.2 PCIe SSD/Windows 10 Home/Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q,GDDR6 6GB/Gray/1.86Kg)
Comments:
NO HDD but don’t worry filling even 512 GB ssd will be difficult / all media is streamed / cloud storage is almost free, No HDD means light and energy efficient system plus makes less noise and stays cool. you can use external ssd after an year it will come very cheap) Notice 1660ti max-Q its smoking hot deal at this price point)

Its on the pricy side but the hardware its packs is worth. Don’t dig too deep in your pockets. you can go for above segment too)
The prices may vary so make a habit of saving the selected items first in cart after clicking on the link in your amazon account. You can make the purchase whenever you want. Usually watching the price trend for a week is a good idea. Amazon automatically informs you if the price drops.
Do check out for prices elsewhere/ local stores as well. you may get it for slightly cheap but do thoroughly check for replacement/return policy and warranty. I prefer amazon because of its return policy and good track record of original product.
