I love how you make sure you had an experience with the device and share honest feedbacks. Most content creators reviewing laptops just read through the specks without testing them on video and photo editing. Please make more of these!♡

I have learned so much watching your videos, really. You have a way to say things that is very clear. And you focus in really important things. Felicitaciones :)

thank you for the video!

I ended up going with the hp omen Ryzan 7 32gb ram 1tb ssd . Can't wait to get it. I like that it has a 144hz screen. I was gonna go with the acer swift but it wasn't enough power for what I wanna do. I live stream and video editing. Possibly some gaming. Thanks for all those other videos talking about cores, ram ect. I needed a refresher

Excellent, that what i was looking for reviews and gave me the best option for me and is the Omen Ryzen 7. congrats in your channel.

[@holywaterandgreentea]

I highly appreciate the info the main thing I appreciate is the color accuracy info as far as the monitors thanks

[@incompletefool9513]

Are we to assume that there are outboard drives for raw video and rendered video? Or are you doing everything on the onboard drive.

[@t11turkenkopf]

Ben, First of all I have to say that of the 4 to 6 videos I watched, yours are the only ones that seem to understand what is important. I don't care about how cool the laptop looks. You are the only one that covers color gamut range. That seems to be the most important. I do have some questions that will help me. Is the gamut range a function of the display, the processer or storage? I currently use a monitor (though I may want to replace that) and calibrate it before editing. I am guessing that if the monitor is the primary factor, the quality of the display is very important. If it isn't the display, I should look at other aspects. What do you think. Tom Turkenkopf

[@RealAsianBeauty]

Thank you so I hope for this video. Sad I didn’t find the Dell XPS 15 9500, which I am aiming to buy.

[@jdspetersgaming]

a lot of the laptops mentioned are user upgradeable, the xps isn't. just something to consider. i was looking at that too. i would also suggest waiting till usb4 fully rolls out. maybe pimp out your old laptop with new storage and ram if you can in the mean time.

I found this video looking for an upgrade to my Acer Swift 3, which continually crashes while trying to edit basic 1080p video in Premiere. Literally cannot edit video with it. 8 gigs is just not enough, and the ram is soldered in so you can't upgrade. I don't know how you could recommend it for video editing.

Does the HP Omen Ryzen 7 edit 4k videos well?

[@ioanblt4826]

About Dell man. Do you have something with them?

[@Straightdarts]

I was told you need 16gb to video edit? Is this not true?

[@BenGKaiser]

I recommend 16gb as well. You could get away with 8gb, but 16 is gonna be the best starting point, then moving up to 32GB if you have the budget.

[@Melodie_Info3]

no you have to buy 64gb

[@khanscombe619]

I’ve been leaning on the MacBook Pro 16” $2799 i9, 1Tb base spec’d to 8Gb vram & 32gb ddr4 ($3299). What IBM or Dell can match that? Or what would you match it with to stay in or under the 3k cost?

[@vivianpoon6086]

Hi Ben, thank you for your informative and easy to understand video. May I ask why you almost never review a samsung laptop? I am looking at Galaxy Ion 2 for 4k editing (not professional). Do you think it can do the job? thank you

[@general8284]

I own an MSI GF63. If I double the RAM to 16gb would that do alright? Only shooting HD, no 4K.

[@sarathchandrakartha8017]

MacBook Pro 14 or asus flow x , which one is better for video editing as well as study purpose ?

I just bought today it because it was on sale. I'll be editing1080p, and occasional 4K. I'm not sure of the color gamut specs.
