Daz and laptops, in my opinion, don't do well together. But for Photoshop painting and editing, sure. These are just my opinions.

No laptop is suitable for 3D graphics work, not even gaming laptops
My suggestion is to spend another $ 200 and get a desktop system with the following specifications.

MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 192-bit HDMI/DP 6GB GDRR6 HDCP Support DirectX 12 Dual Fan VR Ready OC Graphics Card

270 $

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 4.2GHz 6 Core AM4 CPU, Gigabyte B450 AORUS M Motherboard

If you do decide to go with a desktop, this site has been very helpful to me:

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1660-Ti-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1660S-Super/4037vs4056

I have an rtx 2070 super, which for me was the best price/performance card.

You'd be better off getting a used 1070 than a 1660. It's slightly faster and it has 2 gb more memory for about the same price.

I agree the desktop is better than the laptop. But you can create your work on the laptop and render on a desktop.
I've bought used gaming desktops custom built by gamers because they usually have a graphics card or I can swap it out if I decide to get a better one. You cannot do that with a laptop (or very hard to do).
If your graphics card does not have enough memory to render, then it spills over to your CPU, which then I would suggest something with multiple CPUs (i.e. Intel i5, i7 or AMD Ryzen).
