Need suggestions for a high-end laptop

Stinkpads?!?!

Were you not exposed to consumer grade garbage at the time??

This was back in the early-90s. I think I got the very first model they made before they rolled them out company-wide. The dept I was in was customer-facing, so they made sure we always got the newest toys to casually pull out in front of the customer during presentations and meetings. I remember there was a butterfly keyboard model, which was a tiny Thinkpad but when you opened the lid, the keyboard sprung out to full-size like those pop-up books. We also had a Thinkpad with a transparent overlay screen that you could place on top of an overhead projector so you could do presentations - this was well before HDMI and large displays.

All the fun toys!

The Stinkpads thing was an internal joke. Those laptops were actually quite good at the time, not sure how the Lenovos are these days.
 
While it may not be the best fit for your requirements, check out refurb.io. That is where I get ThinkPad from. I am partial to T4x0s series as they are a great portable laptop. There may be a better fit for your power hungry tasks though.

For editing, depending on what program you use, you'll probably want NVenc and that means discrete nvidia GPU is required.

For a sleek package, the Razer Blade (14 or 16) will be the best high end out of the box solution.
Lenovo X1 Carbons are very nice as well.

If the Framework 16 had a discrete nvidia gpu, that'd be a great option for a gear head. Lots of tinkering options. It doesn't however and that's kind of the story full stop.
