John,

   You have a newly assembled desktop which I assume has plenty of DDR4 RAM.
Consider using that as was suggested earlier in this thread. Desktops tend
to be faster than laptops because the latter are not meant for heavy duty
work. Desktops can also be easily upgraded, both CPU and memory; and you
have the USB3.1+ ports you want. Udderwise, why'd you upgrade the desktop?
:-)
