Looking for a new laptop for work and photograph editing

So my Asus Vivobook bit the dust last week (made it a good 5 years) and I’m looking for the best bang for my buck.
What I need:
- Decent camera and mic (for Telehealth work)
- Preferably 16 GB RAM
- A decent processor (previous laptop ran AMD Quad Core)
- Something I can use Lightroom on. I was able to use it on my old laptop but it could be slow at times.
- Preferably 15.6” screen size.
What I don’t need:
- A tablet or any touchscreen.
- Preferably anything over $1,000 before tax/fees.
- I don’t like HPs
Past laptops I’ve used and liked were my ASUS Vivobook (even though I’m reading now that the model I had could have motherboard issues) and ACER Aspire
Any help you can provide, I’d appreciate it.

I got a Victus at Costco for $900 with 32 GB RAM a few weeks ago. It runs perfectly for what I'm doing right now.

I’ve got a Dell XPS 15 and it works perfect for my needs. I own and operate an aerial photography/ videography/ inspection business and run all of the Adobe products with no issues. When rendering in Premiere it’s a little slow but it works fine.

For simple photo editing there's not that much computing power required. 10-15 years ago, I used to edit 25mp images on a machine with around 1ghz clock and 8gb of ram. That's the brilliance of a program like Photoshop where layer masks and adjustment layers are actually pretty memory and computing power conservative.
Where you really need computing power is when/if you start compositing images and/or working with video. Most of the slowness in editing images actually comes from loading multiple large images to and from the hard drive. Most SSD based machines have solved that problem.
