I'm doing some research on a new laptop that I would like to buy. I need a laptop that will allow me to edit full hd videos, edit photos, work on spreadsheets, connect to bluetooth devices quickly, record my laptop screen, record my voice either with an internal or external microphone and project my laptop screen onto a wall(if possible simultaneously). For the video editing I'm not looking to create full films, but I want the option to be able to create at least 15 minute videos with fast rendering time and add my voice into the videos. I also want to be able to edit photos quickly and add them into my videos. For the screen recording I don't want my machine to lag while I screen record, even if I choose to screen record a video editing process. I'm not an expert in laptop audio, so I don't know how much of a difference an internal microphone or external microphone makes depending on my laptop specs?
I went through the online customization process and came out with these specs below for the price of $1625.55.

Aside from doing the customization process, I also spoke to a Dell representative and he suggested a higher price of $2358 with the specs below. (Its actually $2,166 but there's $192 of taxes). Is what he's suggesting too much? Meaning can I get done what I need with the price tag of $1625.55 or should I go with what the Dell representative suggested? I would really appreciate the help. Thank you.
