Best Laptops for Graphic Design, Art, and Photography Heading Into 2024 | Laptop Buyers Guide

[@itzy4541]

I’m a college design student n I know nothing about electronic devices so thank you for this video ❤

[@BenGKaiser]

I'm so glad it helped!

[@genekabevelander5374]

I think he meant heading into 2025 😅 but I always watch your laptop videos it gives a lot of information which laptop will be a great option for me. Because I want to use a laptop for Graphics but also for some light gaming with my little brother such as Fortnite but Mainly for using Adobe illustrator and Photoshop

[@mandisunshinez]

I'm grabbing the lenovo yoga 9i 2 in 1 this black Friday! I caaaant wait!! ❤❤❤😊😊

[@duffyrides]

Heading into 2025 or 2024 ?

[@PeanutBreathing]

Yes

[@erinludden9394]

Thank you for explaining how the GPU supports 2 external monitor displays. So helpful.

[@karikaru]

Im looking at the yoga pro 9i. I do video as well as photo and some gaming on the occasion I have free time. For the lack of pen support, I'm actually looking at picking up a refurb galaxy tab s8+ and using it as a cintiq or extra screen when working on my computer but with the benefit of having something super portable to take on lunch breaks or to meetings for taking down quick notes on the go or whiteboarding. The yoga pro 9i just seems like it offers the sweet spot of the hardware and features you need most with the SD card slot, accurate display, second m.2, connectivity, thermals, etc. that's really what I value most in my lifestyle is something that covers the most bases for the best price.

[@cordovanhobbyist895]

Same! But that battery 😓

[@karikaru]

@@cordovanhobbyist895 yeah the battery isn't great, but I'd rather give that up than the color accurate display, dgpu, refresh rate, etc. My reasoning is that I can fix battery by supplementing with a power bank, a light a GaN charger, or with using a tablet when I'm just consuming media, writing emails, or taking notes on the go. Being said, im not buying until black Friday so if anything better comes up I'll take it

[@karikaru]

Updating to say I ended up with the Lenovo legion 7i. The i9 4060 SKU has the 3.2k ips display with 100% dci-p3. Size, weight, are roughly the same(though legion charger is heavier) and all specs are very similar but the legion has upgradeable ram and fewer complaints so I felt a bit more comfortable buying it. Plus it came in white which looks really nice. Very happy with my purchase

[@anthonyrude]

Are these for graphic design only or also video editing?

[@moanjames_]

Im confused. Your rating a few months ago was the Lenovo 7i was 100% now, 67%...

[@JavierDiez]

It's true that a dGPU is not necessary but Ps, LrC and Affinity are going in the direction of taking more and more advantage of having a dedicated graphics card. Last time I was playing with the AI in Ps it took 8.8 GB of vRAM of my RTX 3060 (+3.9 GB of shared GPU memory). Something to think about.

[@alexkincaid5617]

I need the full review of the ProArt 16! I get the feeling you dont really like it. Is that just me?

[@anayan6596]

THANK YOU BEN, THIS WAS THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEO. I was so confused with all the varieties of the performance providing Thin n light and Chunky Gaming laptops. But i had my eyes on (Vivobook s15 OLED intel EVO certificate one with i7 13500H) it actually falls on my budget, do you Think it's Okay for me to buy that one? Considering the specs??....

[@azizhesham3620]

Amazing list! But I’m curious, is the Lenovo legion 5 pro not a great purchase as of 2024?

[@ayshaanjum3188]

Following

[@psyfusion]

I might’ve missed it but have you done the Best Solidworks Desktop 2024?

[@IrynaBoehland]

I need a stationary PC or Mac, not the laptop - the screen is too small for me. Will watch for a desktop computers review. Thanks!

[@ezginincizdikleri1380]

O kadar yardımcı oldun ki ne kadar teşekkür etsem az gelir. Thank you

[@Chicken-o5e]

Turkey 🦃

[@TracyYen-h5k]

I try to decided which one to get. Any suggestion, please? Both are similar price. I am graphic/ photo/ UX designer. Sometimes do a little bit video editing. 1. ASUS - Vivobook Pro 15 OLED Laptop - Intel Core Ultra 9 with 24GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 - 2TB SSD. 2. ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G16 16" 165Hz Gaming Laptop FHD-Intel 13th Gen Core i7 with 16GB Memory-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070-512GB SSD

[@Chris-Family1st]

Have you reviewed the MSI Summit E 16 evo 2 in 1 from costco? The model my costco is selling is A1MTG-021CA. Intel Ultra 7-155H 32gb ddr5 1tb m.2 Windows 11 home Stylus comes with it. Thanks 👍

[@vanevargasvz]

Ben, what do you think about 24GB RAM? In a MacBook Air with 512 Gb. Please

[@ablanuza76]

Curious question. How many years, on average, does a graphic designer use a laptop (if bought brand new) before needing to replace and upgrade it?

[@FF18Cloud]

This is probably not the KZbin channel for that

[@arayaturner5339]

Gods questions I am wondering the same thing.

[@danijoconcept]

If you're using Adobe like at my workplace I'd say we'd plan for new laptops (macbook pros only for last 6 years) every 3ish years just based on specs for the software changes. You can likely push it a few extra if necessary.

[@LoganSnake]

NEED is a subjective term. I got a maxed out Dell Precision 5500 that cost around $3,000 back in 2019 and today it's fairly sluggish if I have Photoshop, Illustrator, my 50 Chrome tabs, Spotify, Teams, Word, and whatever else opened. It's perfectly workable, but it doesn't feel as fast as it used to or even as fast as my gaming PC that cost less that I build around the same time.

[@mandisunshinez]

​@@LoganSnakeis there a laptop you recommend for video editing, drawing and creating my social media content?

[@JT11111]

Ben, if you are going to do the review of ProArt vs GG16, just know the 4080 is alot better then 4070, and so you would probably need one to get the best G16 experience

[@ClumsyPirateNinja]

Do you recommend a laptop over a PC?

[@felixandtea]

do you want to take it with you?

[@ananthramesh6911]

Is dedicated graphics card a necessity for graphic design??

[@felixandtea]

only for 3D stuff and advanced video editing I think. I dont have one and Ps, Id, Ai and Figma a working absolutely fine.

[@Bremner-qk5ku]

What do you think of the laptop Acer Nitro V 15 i5 13420H and RTX 4050 at $700?, by the way I like its look of the 90's

[@m77lapuente]

I have what I think is the ULTIMATE mid-priced Mobile Studio Workstation. ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED (K6604JI). 3.2K 120 Hz. i9-13980 24c 32t, RTX 4070. User upgradeable to 64gb RAM & 2tb Storage. 🔥

[@mauritswagensveld4795]

Nightmare of a laptop. Motherboard kept crashing out and Asus just gave a simple fix which made the same exact problem happen 3 months down the line. If there is one laptop series I would stay away from its the Vivobooks.

[@tiagocoelho6016]

​@@mauritswagensveld4795 totally agree. I bought a Vivobook 16X yesterday, and even with 32GB of RAM, an RTX 4060, and a 1TB SSD, I got a blue screen of death within the first 5 minutes of just changing some basic settings (Wi-Fi, emails, etc.). I hadn’t even installed anything yet.

[@elvatra8262]

I just bought zenbook 14 oled dci-p3, i wonder if the display is automatically callibrated by default or should i manualy calibrate it myself?

[@jaandeleon4204]

would my older omen 16 with a r7 5800h and a rtx 3070 work through college?

[@Mick-y5q]

I had a surface pro using photoshop i need 32gb of ram minimum

[@SuhasBandal-cv4pt]

Please review Asus zenbook s14

[@OmarGhanem-xu6hq]

Guys after watching this video what laptop u think will suit you the best as graphic designers?

[@MakarZakharov-j4t]

Thanks

[@lismarie9011]

As a graphic design student who’s just extremely confused as to wether or not get the Macbook Air or Pro I find this so helpful Everyone keeps saying things for both Air is better for when you’re student specially if you’re on a budget But then they tell you that the Air could overheat or sm or just stop working properly after a while I do need it to be a MacBook though I don’t want to deal with the headache that is switching between Mac and Windows anymore xd So glad to get a bit more clarity on which one I should spend my money on!

[@vanp3081]

Thanks for sharing! Any thoughts on the framework laptop for graphic design?

[@velvetvideo]

I long for a proper linux drawing tablet :/

[@donmeyers3090]

Skipped right over the HP x360. Brain fart? What's up with that?

[@kevincurtis6257]

2024 M3 MacBook Air 13in down to $850 on Amazon prime day for the next 2 days guys

[@tomoe4811]

can i have one?

[@ZeidGho]

having the words Design and Art in the title yet recommending a 64% sRGB is crazy I bought a laptop with below 70% sRGB not knowingly, it was a nightmare, I resold within days and lost a hefty amount of money.. PLEASE DO NOT RECOMMEND

[@BenGKaiser]

Thanks for the comment. Context... laptops for EVERY budget. I state that I DO NOT recommend these as laptops I would purchase, however, I understand that people are on small budgets and sometimes have to compromise out of necessity.

[@Savagec668]

What is your opinion on the Hp specter x360

[@jdesmond68]

🤔 Ben, the budgets are not worth it. They're not even color accurate or meet the minimum srgb how could you even list these? I have a yoga 7 slim ultra 7 155 h OLED. $929 at BH

[@BenGKaiser]

I totally agree! But people with a small budget still need an option, therefore the budget options that I think are the best fit.

[@joelconolly5574]

As long as it gets the jobs done it's fine. Unfortunately you can't expect anything at this price range

[@felixtedeku2081]

Lenovo is not a strong laptop

[@Lilbroinc]

What you recommend?

[@ToykoRens-df3uz]

Bro's aging 250% faster than the normal man. Its so funny to compare this video to his seven year old videos and see how long he's trying to grow his hair to hide his balding head. Thinks he can compensate for male pattern balding with LONGER hair. Bruh, you've aged 17.5 years in the past 7 years. You're almost aging in dog years. Lay off the tech and get out and explore the analog world.
