p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Video editing laptop


Looking for advice on good laptop for around $1,000-1500.

Will be using Premier Pro Lightroom and photoshop. 1080p content right now 4k not far down the road.

Have more experience with PC than Mac currently so unless there is a justified reason to go with Mac over PC would prefer to stick with PC....


Also would prefer new to used.

Lenovo ThinkPad P50


HP ZBook Studio G3 - if you can find one cheap enough

Perhaps.

Keep an eye out for Lenovo sales. I picked this up in January for $730 CAD ($545 USD), brand new custom made:

Lenovo ThinkPad E570
i7-7500U
15.6" 1080P IPS matte display
16GB DDR4 RAM
GTX950M descrete graphics
256GB PCI-E NVMe SSD
DVD Burner
Wireless AC 2X2 / Bluetooth 4.1
Windows 10 64 Bit

I would also look at Dell XPS 15's if you need the slimmer form factor and maximum value, but they can creep out of your budget.

If you aren't dead set on a laptop, AMD's Ryzen CPUs are absolute monsters in most of the video benchmarks for less than half the price of Intel's competition.

thanks for recommendations on laptops i will look into those as well.

As for desktops i know tons of options there as i build those here and there for people. Just wasnt sure on best bang for buck in laptop world for a video editing machine. I will take these tips though and continue shopping around.
