Does your use case lock you to a laptop? If not, You can probably get better performance for the same cost (edit) from a desktop.
Do you have a not-box-store computer store nearby? Have a chat with them about what you are looking for, they often have refurbished laptops. If you can wait, they may have refurbs in the pipeline too.
This. If you don't need a laptop for anything in particular, get a desktop pc. Performance will be way better and you can easily upgrade it later on.
A good monitor beats whatever you can do with a laptop any day. No gaming laptop can come close to a nice 24" or bigger screen.
