Laptop or Portable LAN setup

[lblakeboy]

Hello all,
This is my first time posting but I have browsed on the forums for a while. I currently own a ~£700 new integrated graphics dual-core 7th gen i7 laptop but need more power for video editing. My question is whether you think I should buy a low-mid range gaming laptop (£500-£800) mostly for video editing but sometimes gaming. The alternative is building a LAN setup that would have to be portable for around the same budget. My unique situation is that I have to be moving to 2 houses every week and currently don't have peripherals for PC at either house (apart from hdmi TV's I use for Xbox). I know the PC would be cheaper for higher quality but I would like to know your opinion (given my situation) of:
1. Laptop or Small PC
2. Which laptop / PC build you would recommend
3. If you have an alternative option you may recommend

I would be happy to get your responses,
thanks,
Lewis.

In your case, a laptop may be better unless you keep monitors/keyboar/mouse in both places. The other issue that may be a factor is that moving a desktop, even a small one, poses a bit more danger to something breaking than moving a laptop.

Is your budget including selling your laptop?

Is your budget including selling your laptop?

Well I could most likely sell my current laptop for about £450-500 based on other sales on ebay. I bought it new at about 800 or so dollars in America when I was there about a year and a half ago. I would probably allocate £500 from the laptop plus another £300-£350 for the laptop or PC with a cheap mech keyboard(magicforce68 because it's cheap and small and mouse?). Would you have any recomendations in the laptop department?
An idea of a small pc is: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/7LQnm8

Note: I did some research and realised PC needs better cpu than gpu for video editing so i7HQ laptop cpu would be better than i5HQ even with lower GPU

This is good, i7 along with a 1060 for editing and gaming https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-i7-7700HQ-1060-6GB-G3-571-77QK/dp/B06Y4GZS9C/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=KM9ESV04NV99S2CKGAZM
