Which laptop to go?

Planning for a new laptop purchase sooner or later.
Which one is better?

Budget: RM7k+ (RM8k max)

Usage: Primarily for gaming and photo editing (Lightroom, Photoshop), and also general use.

Concerns/Requirements:
- Decent display quality(not sure if 2K display is ok for 16" screen), good color accuracy as in color gamut those things(due to photo editing purpose)
- No/less lag please, I was so frustrated that the current laptop was lagging even just open youtube.
- For photo editing purpose, is Intel i7 (like 13700H/HX) enough for usage or need i9 (like 13980HX)? Sometimes will open Lightroom and Photoshop together + process RAW files.
- I will still stick to RTX4060.
- Future proof.
- Not sure if Lenovo improves now (current laptop also Lenovo but had poor user experience)
- So far no interest on Acer, HP, etc. But you may suggest the brand you think is good and fits the purpose.
