\n Finding the best laptop for photo and video editing requires balancing a lot of power-hungry components with a top-notch screen while keeping a personal budget in the equation.\n<\/p>\n
\n And it gets even more complicated.\n<\/p>\n
\n When you need a lightweight machine that can run for hours on its battery alone while still being able to provide the smoothest workflow.\n<\/p>\n
\n In this post, I will describe what you need to look for EXACTLY in a notebook for creative work and what you should expect at your price range to the dollar<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n \n Finally, I’ll list out 7 best options when it comes to best laptops for video and photo editing. To pick them out, I went over a 100 hottest laptops<\/strong> and evaluated them using specs and benchmarks that took me days to find and collect<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n \n You need to decide on the total amount of storage that you’ll need. A basic starting point should be 500 GB. But if I were you, I would advise going up to 1 TB or more.\n<\/p>\n \n Yes. I recommend getting at least a small 250 GB SSD for OS, Photoshop, Lightroom<\/a> or your favorite photo editing app<\/a> and several “hot” photo folders. It will make a world of difference. When I edit photos, I notice a measurable difference between my files on SSD and HDD. And I don’t have to work with super high-resolution uncompressed RAW images that would benefit the most from an SSD.\n<\/p>\n \n But the main issue with laptop SSDs is that there aren’t many laptops that come with 1 TB SSD built-in. That’s why sometimes you’ll need to limit yourself to 500 GB + 1 TB setup or you’ll need to spend ~$320 for 1 TB SSD.\n<\/p>\n \n At the end of the day, everything revolves around two variables:\n<\/p>\n \n That’s what I would recommend and what you should optimistically expect:\n<\/p>\nWhat are we looking for in a photo and video editing laptop?<\/h2>\n
