Just wanted to say thank you, it's so hard to find in depth reviews for laptops for creatives. I recently graduated from college studying art and your videos would have saved me so much time back when I first entered college. Your doing a lot helping a the art community! Laptops for creatives is a niche topic to focus on but really it makes a difference. ♡
So grateful that my videos were SO helpful to you!
@@BenGKaiser where does my HP ZBook Firefly G7 Workstation rank. I'm thinking about giving it to my grandma and/or buy her HP Victus 15.6" Gaming Laptop
a creator making videos focusing on laptops for creatives? now that's a niche i never thought i needed to be filled.
DEFINITELY sticking around as i'll be in the market for one at some point! love the content i've seen so far ben!!
Thanks for showing some support for my channel. So glad it is helpful to you.
So useful!! Finally a video actually explaining all the parameters and what they do 🤧👏👏
Thank you so much ....awesome!!!!😍😍😍
Wow.. I just discovered your channel... Nice content niche. You have just earned a subscriber
You are one beautiful man for making this
hey ben will i5 1240p with intel iris xe can handle medium lvl motion graphics?? because the scene is i am on budget and i want to do some motion graphics and 1080p video editing what would you recommened under 850-900$
I think im going to go for surface pro this year just to draw stuff, once i start doing modeling and special effects next year i'll go for a gaming laptop that has a dedicated gpu and rtx 4000 series will be in laptops by that point.
@Ben K Kaiser what are your thoughts on the new 2022 hp envy 16 with 12th gen Intel and rtx3060. Build quality, pricing and benchmarks for blender, revit, autocad, sketchup and photoshop
What do you think about the Surface Laptop Studio?
Hello, thank you so much for this amazing video, but my question is that is it true that there’s many apps you can have them for free on many laptops but not on a MacBook ? I was about to buy a MacBook then someone told me a lot of apps need to be purchased monthy
Thank you brother
which Asus pro art studio book 16 is the latest one
Intel 12th gen have pretty much the same performance on battery as it does plugged in. The only problem is that the battery does not last for long. The plug on my samsung galaxy book 2 pro is 60w and my battery is between 60-70wh (dont remember), that means that the battery could be able to deliver similar amounts of voltage as the wall plug.
I was thinking of the price range of 1000-2000 for Graphic design for a Laptop. I want to get a Macbooks Pro but most price range for Apple is out of my budget because if I were to install an abode application it's going to be way expensive. Any recommendation? Also, I'm a student as of currently.
I wish you had outlined which of these are touchscreen as many are not so not necessarily suitable for digital artists who don't want to have to buy another accessory to then draw with
I bought XPS 13 but it overheats without even doing anything so wondering if any of these will overheat??
Here’s my 2 cents that no one asked for. Review of Leveno Flex 5:
Cough. I have a Leveno Ideapad Flex 5. Got it cause everyone and their mother recommends it on the “best tablets for college students” websites. I have had it for about 9 months. I opened it one day as normal and I heard a snap. The hinge had broken and the screen in the bottom left corner came up. Everything was Working fine (so far) but when I bend the pc back to use the tablet part it makes a cracking sound and the screen comes up every time. I’m scared it will break soon. The laptop is made to be a 2 in 1 (laptop and tablet)but it clearly can’t handle it. Atleast the hinges can’t. Looked it up and apparently it is a common problem with leveno products and even if I can fix it, it will just happen again. I will not be buying a leveno again because I was planning on this leasing me years.
Honest review because now I have to go buy a new laptop and I’m annoyed. Believe it or not but take it into consideration if you use the tablet part of your laptops a lot.
Looking for a gaming computer that i can use for design projects, like in figma or photoediting. Any tips?
Do a review of the hp envy 16?
Best review
Ngl currently the Asus Proart 16 seems like the best pick especially considering it’s current price rn but man the fact that it’s oled scares me because then it’s susceptible to burn in and I don’t really want a Mac for a long term portable solution since I’ve watched enough Louis Rossman videos for me to pray that I don’t have to deal with the Apple Genius Bar
I’d recommend not wasting time asking in the comments, He won’t reply . Can create a discussion here however
😭😭😭
🤣
Does any of these overheat??? Especially the acer ones?
Cloud storage doesn’t count? Also hD are expandable right?
Can I ask why the xps 15 doesn’t seem to be the model with 4K screen advertised with 100% adobe rgb. It seems like it would be a higher recommende product closer to the asus proart studiobook. Thoughts?
Because many Tech UA-camr finds out that Dell XPS 15 with touchscreen 4K isn’t that shaper so you will easily notice some pixels, which is called “pixelated.”
Does anyone have any opinions on the Asus zenbook flip 14 OLED with th i7 12700h?
Can you do a comparison between Asus Zenbook 15X Oled and Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro? Especially their display and color gamut range.
Yeah, that would be nice!
Im getting the MacBook m1 pros 14inch for college and for programming and also im already in the apple ecosystem with my iPad pro and AirPods and my iPhone so might as well get the MacBook pro 14inch.
So I am limited to 8GB of RAM but get 100% accurate colors. I want to move up to 16GB RAM but only getting 72% accurate colors. Really got me up against the wall here.
Hi Ben! Great video. I'm currently a full time Graphic Designer and I mostly use illustrator and photoshop for projects, sometimes I may work on very simple YT videos. I'm currently planning to get a Macbook with a budget. Would you recommend
- MacBook air M2, with 8 core CPU, 8GB, 256SSD
- MacBook air M1, 8GB, 512SSD
Could you give me your opinion? Much appreciated 🙏🏻
Don’t go for 8gb you’ll suffer always 16gb for design
I would go for the M1 Pro 32 GB with 512 Gb or 1 tb it’ll last you in 14 inch or 16 inch if you wanna go that route.
Thank you for this video. I am considering various pc from the asus s13 to the lenovo yoga 7i or the samsung pro 2 360. Notice there are two variants of the samsung the 13.3 and 15.6. Which one would you recommend to a light setup photographer (meaning I carry a small camera and 2 lenses amd use the laptop for quick small edits) ?
From that criteria you pretty much answered your own question; 13"
He also made a mistake on the Vivobook 16X , it says 512 TB SSD, I believe it’s 512GB
how about the Lenovo carbon extreme gen 5 ?
I don't understand why the same specs of proart can't be in a formula with 180 degree hinge at least to easily use pen as an artist I can't really use anything that doesn't have pen and I do gaming too so never these two functions I mean dedicated gpu and pen don't come in one package nicely
So sad I can't afford a Laptop 😪.
I really want to work on my graphic design skills as well as UI designing skills but I don't have a working laptop 😪😪😪😪
Getting a laptop for my birthday. As an artist and writer, I need lots of storage and it needs to be high quality. Ofcourse I'm gonna be relylisc.
What of Lenovo yoga slim 7pro for photo editing
acer aspire 5 core i7 for design?
you can change the performance "Power" setting in windows so that unplugging doesn't matter
them and 3d ???
how about hp envy 16 2022 with 3060 gpu
Mine as well. It is really awesome
I am awaiting for a laptop with high TGP 3060 or 3070TI laptop for Data Science and AI Simulation and algorithms for big data visualization. I was thinking of going for Ryzen 6900HX or i7 12th Gen. I am also working on Network technologies and learning Firewall and cybersecurity over Cloud.
What would be the best option for a working professional who also needs atleast 3-4 hours of battery life?
Budget: 2 lac INR ( or 2400 USD)
Should I wait longer for another laptop or go for anything that's around for 2000-2400 USD?
Looking for usually 17.3 inch or so for better screen as I am working on large data and visualizations. Small screen makes tough to work on large models
What is the minimum configuration to do my tasks at ease? My teacher advised for 32 GB for the Network related works but for the AI and Data Science, 16 GB is seemingly enough.
Should I buy somewhat cheaper laptop and build PC for heavy tasks?
I need to go out and move only once or twice a month for work related task. May be 6-8 times a year. So I think 17.3 inches is not a daunting task to carry, yeah it make things heavier but my work flow also easier when I am not able to get hold of large monitor when not in office or home.

Anything best value for money under 2 lac?
17.3 inches only
i7 12th gen or Ryzen 9
GPU based task moderate to high. I do not need 3080 or 3070 TI.
Screen quality = QHD

Since I am working on two 27 inches monitors sidewise and need large screen. It makes things really small for 15.6 inch.
I am also looking to build new PC ( Tower or cabinet). I already have monitors. So, I am thinking what could be best spot to buy- whether to get too high end laptop for all task or
upgrade my current PC to new one and then look for somewhat budget friendly laptop
Though I have budget saved since 8 months just to buy 2500 $ laptop.
Yeas- I agree and whatever machine I get I will be going for 3 years warranty atleast. All I am looking for well optimised and great performing machine within my budget.
I am still confused whether to choose AMD 6900 HX or i7 12700 HX
i9 12900 is outside my budget and also overheats and drains battery too fast.
i9 are too pricey! SHould I wait for a month to get things cool down on price or for better options?
Hi, I’m looking to buy a laptop. For around the same price I’m in between a MacBook Pro 13 M2 and a Lenovo Legion 7, which is better?
I have the same question
@@RafaelKaname if it is of any use I did more research and I’ll go with the MacBook Air M2. It’s better in some aspects than the MBP 13 M2 save the battery (by 2 hours) and cores (which would be barely noticeable). I’ll be using it to make art and I won’t be editing videos or doing 3D so it won’t be running such heavy programs. Lenovo Legion is probably better at handling that + gaming but the battery life doesn’t last as long. Saw some guy say like 5 hours. Hope that helps :)
@@nikibranda1438 I was looking here the prices and I found one mbp m1 pro 14" 16gb 512gb for almost the same price than Legion 5 and MacBook air m2 512gb.
The only big problem for me that I'm a heavily windows user :/
@@RafaelKaname One thing to consider, is that you cannot upgrade memory or SSD in the MacBook, with the Legion, you have room to upgrade your memory/hard drive if needed
Stay away from hp spectre x360 I have it and 2 years in it started to have fan issues and heating problems. Get yourself a better laptop seriously
I like the Samsung Galaxy book pro 2 360
8:23 did someone forget to edit that part? kinda cute haha
Need to do some editing starting at 8:23
For programming and engineering ?
For engineering definitely go for windows laptops. G14 is one of the best.
Yeah, you have to take a look on Asus Zephyrus series, there are a lot of interesting things (new one can be found for $1700)
budget..... depends on your pockets.. All can run graphics software. In my country, pentium silvers go a long way.
I really love Mac laptops but clearly seems not supported many engineering apps for now, also not have touchscreen so I would pick up Asus x13 flow with 32gb ram. It has reasonable price, high performance and fine battery life. But I wish it had OLED screen. Hope to asus bring that in 2023 model with better GPU.
At least you can look for external GPU for better performance
No less than a tb hard drive for me
Why have you all of them, do giveway. First to me 😅 :)
Is that spiderman?
Hahaha! XD
Is 8gb ram really enough for graphic design on a MacBook 🥲?? I’m really scared of getting it and regretting, especially that there’s only base models where i live, no configurations
Base model mbp 14 comes with 16gb
@@felix.s9492 i know i was asking about the 13 inch MacBook Pro m1
8gb is not enough to even run Chrome
Noooo go for 16 please
@@felix.s9492 plus a hefty price tag! Read between the lines, the guy is trying to figure out what best bang for their buck they can get, not some apple fanboy who comes back with 'just get a 3.5k laptop.'
