Having done an ungodly amount of research, I have found that the dell g3 is the best suited gaming laptop that stays within budget… however I’m unsure as to whether it can be used for UE4.
I have a link that shows the specs:

This definitely meets the specs. I use a i7 8565u 16gb ram ultrabook with integrated graphics and it works fine. I see this model comes with 1 stick of 8gb ram, so I suppose you may be able to upgrade it later - I’d recommend 16gb ram to start if you can afford it.
Deploying from any laptop is bound to take a while and you’ll definitely thermal throttle when compiling shaders, but that’s to be expected on a mobile workstation. I can’t recommend enough a powerful desktop instead, like ryzen 8 core, but if you must have a laptop this one seems good to the task. After using a laptop for UE4 I got the desktop because even very high end laptops leave much to be desired, especially in terms of upgrades and longevity.
Happy Unrealing!
