whatever you pick i would go for as much RAM (at least 12gig) and best cpu that you can find, even used or refurbished would be cool.
You don't need a graphics card, but it will help speed up renders.
After Toshiba stopped making good laptops, Lenovo is my next go to for durability. You might want to consider the Lenovo ThinkPad and IdeaPad series. Good build quality and decent performance. This -> IdeaPad 320 has a 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD storage. The SSD is much faster and ideal for running your programs. Videos and photos goes to the HDD storage. Best to check them out at your local stores and see if they work for you. Good luck!
