you have no options available to you whatsoever

Having said that, your best option is to buy a laptop with a powerful CPU (any Intel quad core should work--these are guaranteed to be high end in the mobile market) along with a Thunderbolt port, or other port that allows you to connect an external GPU (gaymer laptops)

CPUs age well. CPUs from 2012 are still viable now. GPUs from 2012 are not. This scheme allows you to upgrade your GPU as needed. Caveat: the GPU needs to be plugged into the wall, so you can't use it wherever you want. Not that you would be doing huge pathtracing jobs on the bus.

Laptops that offer a quad core CPU and Thunderbolt 3--the ones that you would want, at least--are any workstation laptop, such as the Dell Precision 5000/7000, or the Lenovo ThinkPad P51/P71.
Some MacBook models also have quad cores and Thunderbolt 3, but I think you'll find that doing this with them is more trouble than it's worth
