Best Laptops for Photo Editing in 2023 | Photo Editing Laptop Buyers Guide

[@JBubbs]

I don't think 8 gig options should be even considered here, the same applies to all options with gamut considerably lower than full srgb. Both would be terrible choice for anything photography oriented.

[@gigxr]

its an entry level bro

[@thomaspinder1596]

I have 8g of ram at the moment and it is not enough at all so I agree completely

[@markg5664]

I have the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 Oled and the Arc A370M has a severe compatibility issue with the AI denoise that's in photoshop. At first it would remove all of the color and darken the image, but that was fixed with the newest drivers. Now it's just incredibly slow. My almost 4 year old MSI with I7 9750 and Nvidia 1650 processes the photos in less than one minute and the A370M takes from 3 to sometimes 37 minutes.

After 12 years on a Mac, I switched to a Dell XPS 9570 for editing. Crazy hardware, performance, and possibly the best screen I’ve ever seen- 4K touch screen, 100% RGB color accuracy, gets bright as hell for outdoor use. BUT I found Windows to be insanely irritating compared to MacOS, to the point of being unusable. So I sold my beloved XPS and went back to an M2 MacBook Pro. Sooooo much smoother workflow than Windows.

The requirements for Photoshop and Lightroom 2023 are listed as 8 core CPU, a dedicated graphics card and 16GB RAM. 512GB of storage. I took a Graphics Design course and my/any budget laptop is not strong enough.

As software evolves hardware has too and Photo and a video editing is not the exception. What enough today, tomorrow will be obsolete, so just check recommended system requirements for that specific piece of software as buying guide. Simple as that.

So many people are having to replace their laptops due to the new PS and LR requirements. Especially people using Apple like I am. You can’t upgrade items so you’re forced to replace the entire thing. That being said, not even with Apple would I go 8GB.

[@gazerdaestrela]

I've watched this video numerous times and I still can't narrow down what I want haha

[@javieralejandro1786]

Me too😢

[@johncurrence4228]

Could you do an updated video on laptops for music production?

[@avril7597]

Can you do an updated one for best budget after effects laptop??

[@aaronbredon2948]

No mention of the HP Zbook series with Dreamcolor profiled displays? They are literally designed for professional Photo and Video editing.

[@katya_mironenko]

thanks a lot for that video I needed sth like that.can`t decide at all

[@arqomx]

currently considering asus vivobook pro lineups (15x or 16x), but kind of surprised that they didn't make it to your list..

[@MrSteele2010]

How would the HP Elite Dragonfly and/ or HP Dragonfly Pro stack-up spec wise for photo editing using alternative editing software rather than photoshop in web browser / photoshop express?

[@kamv8360]

Great video. Lots of info for us photographers.

[@yeyoeddy]

Have you had a chance to review the Lenovo Slim 7 Pro? With Amd 7735hs and rtx3050? If you have what do you think about it?

[@a_n_u_r_o_o_p]

Thank You for this Video. Really Helpful ❤

[@asoasogm]

Thank you for this excellent review!

[@ukaszkosecki9836]

What about lenovo yoga pro i9? i9, 64gb of super fast ram, 4070, miniLed...it can be a wet dream of every content creator...but this battery!!!😢

[@juanranoriega6576]

The battery is the only thing that prevents me from buying it😕

[@ukaszkosecki9836]

@juanranoriega6576 I feel this same. I was even thinking that maybe it is possible to change this shity battery to better one:)

[@butter_bags]

What are your thoughts on the Asus Zenbook14 OLED Touch screen (NVIDIA GeForece RTX 3050) for editing?

[@JGoose-oy9qo]

Thinking about buying a laptop, not going to use a external monitor most of the time, need an accurate screen and like to work in a very bright room or even outside. Is there any laptop that has a bright accurate screen? Apple macbook pro maybe? I prefer 16inch as a size.

[@two_wanderedsouls]

From legion pro 5 & pro 5i which processor to choose the 13700hx or the ryzen 7745hx. Both at same price

[@MrDiozem]

Hi Ben, Is it possible to change the memory and ssd of 9i with some I already have?

[@Nemaca]

Hey Ben, have you edited using LR Classic on an Air? Just asking, I already know the answer:)

[@fullyleaded]

If only you could get an NVIDIA graphics card and windows on a mac that would be a winning combo.

[@wonderfaller]

Hello, Ben!. Any news on the Zenbook Pro 14,5 OLED?. The 32 Gb RAM doesn't seem to be in stock... anywhere!. ASUS won't addressed this or answer about it.

[@RynaxAlien]

QLED or MicroLED displays are needed

[@bloodhoug82]

The Lenovo Yoga 9i is nearly twice of what you indicated there. Not at all entry level.

[@PhoenixProTech]

As software evolves hardware has too and Photo and a video editing is not the exception. What enough today, tomorrow will be obsolete, so just check recommended system requirements for that specific piece of software as buying guide. Simple as that.

[@girardedward]

Not a Creator, but I run macros, web scrape data, and daily trading for finance. Need a dedicated GPU, 32GB Ram. Using Slim 7 Pro X, Ryzen 9. Hope my screens keep up! Is Mac safer while on the Internet?

[@bloodhoug82]

Don't need a dedicated GPU or 32gb RAM for macros..

[@Mimi-jg7vf]

Hello, I want to take quality pictures with my laptop, use brother sewing machine/embroidery software, circuit, scan & cut, also business excel and Microsoft. What I think I need is a fast processor, a lot of storage, great camera, touchscreen, most battery life. Which one would be your recommendation without breaking the bank?

[@seangaffney581]

I'm a photographer that uses ligjtroom photoshop and my new camera sony a7rv is 61 mp. What would you suggest..

[@Shalin.S.Shah.]

Did you end up buying one?

[@edward6749]

Mid series Mac book pro. Easier to navigate through than windows
