Laptop better for Adobe (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, Character Animator etc)

Hi all.

1.5 years I purchased a (what I was told)was top spec Alienware 51m i9-9900k, ive upped the ram to 128 2600 but it maxes out at 2400, I have 2tb ssd nvme, 1tb ssd nvme and a 1tb ssd. It has the 2080 graphics.

I recently had the thermal paste changed but it still gets hot.

My work has gotton more sophisticated and sometimes I have to wait for even premiere pro to catch up with what I am doing.

When exporting alpha films from character animator it seems to take longer than it did a year ago. Might be psychological though.

I have my eye on the new Dell 7750 with Intel Xeon W-10855M , 4k screen, RTX5000, 128gb ram 2933 and 3 M.2 2TB PCIe NVMe Class 40 Solid State Drives

I have checked the userbenchmark between the 2 processors and they are quite similar.

My question is will I see a significant improvement in performance?

thanks

Just also a note about me. At times I have more money than sense and buy what Im told. I really dont know too much about it all.

The i9 9900k really still is quite a good CPU. The RTX 2080 too is still top-tier. If it's just theoretical performance you're looking at, the upgrade to the Dell won't make a big difference, if at all. I'd rather see why your current Alienware is working so badly, or if it is underperforming. Go run some benchmarks like cinebench, octanebench, pugetbench for premiere pro and compare your specs to others to see if your cpu + gpu are performing as they should.

If they are, then you might need better components, but I'd say a Xeon and a Quadro are not the way to go. A Ryzen 5950X and a 30xx RTX GPU sounds much better for your workloads.
