I've been rocking a Thinkpad X1 for a few years, mainly because I got tired of occasionally lugging around heavier workstation laptops from HP and Dell. Thermals are an issue for intense work so a cooling stand is essential. Also if editing higher res video on a laptop, you should look into editing with proxy files or if your team is familiar with that kind of workflow.
