Honestly im so done with my current XPS it literally sounds like a jet engine every time I try to color grade in Resolve and then it just freezes. its ruining my workflow and driving me crazy.
My logic was to just get a top spec Macbook Pro but then I saw the price for 64gb ram and almost choked. So then I was thinking maybe the new Asus ProArt? But I havent used Windows for editing in years so im kinda scared to switch back. I have about 3000 saved up and I need something solid by next month for this big wedding video project I have in Chicago. What is actually the best 4K editing laptop right now that wont melt on my desk?

Unfortunately mac prices are just not as good as expected once you spec them out for 4k work. I had issues with thermal throttling on similar builds before. To maximize your budget, check the ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED 64GB RAM RTX 4070. It is more stable for resolve than an xps and wont cost you that 64gb apple tax. Its a methodical choice for heavy color grading.
