I have the ASUS G14 RTX 5070TI 14 inch RAM 32GB (the RTX5080 could be an option), I don't think there is a competitor more powerful than this computer in this segment for the quality of the screen and the size (including MACs), a little faster than an Apple M3 Ultra in OpenCL not considering video, has a good size for traveling, terrific SRGB screen that does not cause eye strain like the DELL's I had in past or even worse the Minileds screens that could be pretty bad for the eyes in most cases (there are people than don't suffer from this thing, but I do), powerful enough to work with PS and Davinci.
I never liked MACOS because for my use I like much more Windows 11 except regarding to HDR how is managed in Windows that could be better in MACOS, but this is my personal experience.
I process my R5MKII pictures very fast.
As a suggestion is important to setup correctly the drivers otherwise you will have problems.
I changed the SSD that comes by default for a 2TB one.
Last note, Windows laptops are to be used plugged if you need the full power, on battery using the full power of the eGPU will last 3 hrs, without the eGPU could be 7 hours aprox, I use every laptop plugged so for my use is not an issue.
For the reference, processing a R5MKII raw with DXO Pureraw XD2, it completes the full process in 8 seconds and Topaz Photo Pro 1.0.2 with a ISO 25600 RAW, 8 seconds
