Storage obviously for holding the video files (which they do eventually get put away on my file server) and the CPU speed to help in processing the video files faster.
Right now, I'm using a quad core at 1.6Ghz. Depending on the video and its length I am looking at 30-45min to compress all my edits to a single video file. It works and I tough it out...but if I can get it to process a video a little quicker that'd be nice.

Everything is relative ... one users super-machine is another users "kick to the curb" clunker.
Professional use vs recreation ... if your computer is part of your job or IS your job things are different.
My friend in the photography/video business said his 2017 I7 16 GB RAM MacBook Pro is getting kinda slow and will be going for one of the new jobbies with 32 GB or 64 GB RAM, 8 TB SSD and an I9 processor. He does a lot of stuff "on the fly" while flying around the globe so power laptops are his thing.
The pricetag on that cyber-animal will have a lot of 0's in it to the left of the decimal point but I think he gets to claim some of it on his income tax as a business expense.
