Trying to decide which laptop to get

It's not really just about gaming and video for me. It's mostly about future proofing as much as possible.

I don't know how worried I am about the SSD size. I don't really store that much on my computer these days and haven't for a long time. I doubt that will change. I'm mostly worried about being able to continue to play games / high quality video and other stuff into the future.

My instinct is to go with the slightly lower end graphics card, processor and double the ram. (the first option).
