What is the ideal laptop for Premiere, After Effects, and Cinema 4D?

I'd like 2+tb SSD, 64gb ram, and a Max-Q RTX if possible in a reasonably lightweight 15 inch 4k screen. Even though my laptop has 32gb and a 970gtx, it's 5 years old and struggling in Premiere. If money was no option, what is the ideal laptop? IT seems that there always is a tradeoff (weight/battery/speed/heat).

I wanted to wait for the Geforce 3000 series laptops but until then, what is the ideal laptop for editing while mobile? What are some personal must-have features/specs for your mobile editing workflow? Anything you wish you had considered before buying a laptop?

Also, what exactly does max-q do? is it a thermal thing?

Max-Q GPUs are just downclocked and undervolted versions of the regular mobile GPU, which is also just a downclocked and undervolted version of the desktop GPU. Compared to the regular mobile GPU the Max-Q version is normally about 15-20% slower, but more energy efficient.
I don't think you would benefit from 64GB RAM at all compared to 32GB.
Also, the storage of most laptops can be upgraded, upgrading yourself is almost always cheaper than directly buying a configuration with lots of storage. Same is normally true for RAM.
I would take a look at the Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED, it has two M.2 Nvme slots and two RAM slots, so you can upgrade storage and memory yourself. And a 4K OLED display. The RTX 2060 Mobile should be more than enough for Premiere, you can get a configuration with an 8-core 10th gen Intel CPU and the RTX 2060 Mobile, going higher wouldn't make much sense in my opinion.

I've been looking at the HP Envy 15, Asus Zyphrus, Gigabyte Aero, and MSI Stealth 15. It's hard to know which one to pick without comparing them in person. :-/
