It's all about the budget you can afford... Can you tell us more?

Indeed, consider a gaming laptop, even if you aren't a gamer. They usually have powerful CPU as well as at least 16 GB ram.
They are usually easy to upgrade by yourself, supporting more RAM or bigger HD

I have an Asus ROG Strix G15 of 2019 and I'm happy with it

Go for CPUs with good single core performance. I'm guessing most gaming laptops would be good here as low latency is important for games as well but it helps to research your CPU on cpu benchmark's website and see how it stacks up regarding single core performance.
