Thanks for making such an informative and content driven vid, this definitely will help with my decision making process. With that said, I’m looking for a laptop for 4K video editing and I followed your recommendations with H processors, RAM amount and screen resolution and gambit etc…and of course my budget…lol, I landed on the Gigabyte Aero 15 KD-72US623SP as my choice. But when I checked your vid’s laptop list, it seems it didn’t make the grade…lol. So I was wondering what’s your thoughts on that particular laptop…once again, thanks and keep up the GREAT work! 🙏🏼
That is a great laptop! I think the color gamut range and performance is spot on. The reason I don't personally ALWAYS recommend it is because some people don't like to pay the extra money for the color gamut range. You want that, so it's a GREAT pick. :)
Damn, best mini course for purchasing a laptop suited for editing videos. Love your style, man. I hope you don't mind I adopt some of your educational techniques.
Hey mate! Thanks a lot for your videos! Amazing detailed info that i love. I am an after effects professional user working on a desktop pc. What laptop would you recomend (besides mac book?)
Hey Ben, First of all thanks for all this videos, they are really helpful ❤ I just bought the Asus zephyrus g15 GA503 with RTX 3070, I'm a graphic designer/gamer how much can I trust the laptop in terms of color accuracy in terms of end product ? Do you suggest changing some settings or anything to get better results ? Keep up the amazing work!
Great video 👍🏿, although I expected you to give some references in graphic card for 4k editing such as GTX 1650i, GTX 2030 ect ... I'm considering to buy the MSI gl65 leopard with the GTX 1650 graphic card as a budget laptop. I Wonder if it could edit smooth 4k video.
your videos are really helping me with picking a laptop for 4k editing for my channel just started filming at a higher resolution and my pc and laptop basically just collapsed on themselves
@@BenGKaiser I'm looking at the asus rog strix g15 not sure whether I should get the ryzen 7 with the 3070 gpu or ryzen 9 with the 3060 gpu. As there's only about £50 price difference and I'm not sure which one I'd get more out of.
Great video! Always informative and straight to the point. It would be amazing if you could do a video for the best specs for architecture as well as a budget or midrange laptop you would recommend.
I think any mid range to high range gaming or workstation laptop will fare. if ur hardcore into architecture look for Certified laptops mainly workstations by HP and Thinkpads. Other than that, only a student? Any mid range gaming laptop is more than enough
Thank you very much for this video. It's very informative and helpful for someone like me who's a complete boomer about the fine details of computers and the terminology. It's also helpful because I'm looking for a new laptop that can handle photo and video editing. I really appreciate it.
I think it’s worth noting for film focused creatives having a calibrated DCI-P3 monitor is a great plus for great looking films, especially for theatrical distribution. Think film festivals. But if you have the budget, your colorist will have one of these anyway. Also worth noting for web: Apple is pushing P3 color on all of its devices. I could see other brands following suit.
Thanks for the information. I am planning to buy hp zbook power g8 workstation with i9 11 gen and NVIDIA T1200 (4 GB GDDR6 dedicated) for video editing and 2d 3d rendering work. Do you recommend it or should i switch to omen laptops?
Great video and explanation. What do you think about the new i7-1260P I was wondering if an Ultrabook with i7-1260p, 16GB ram and Intel Iris Xe could handle ocasional video editing in 4K Thanks!
perfect. What are the hardware specifications of the laptops in the tests? There is a difference between the 16 and 32 ram versions of Legion 5 Pro. Would the render time be reduced on a 32GB laptop? I'm surprised the R7 5800H has lagged behind.
@@BenGKaiser Understood. I wish I had waited for Legion's 11800H. But its adapter is 230w and it loses charge under power. I bought Legion5 pro AMD just as it came out. 32GB RAM RTX3070 5800H processor.
Currently editing 4K Slog 3 short videos under 10 minutes on the M1 chip iPad Pro 11. So far no issues but want to upgrade to Macbook Pro 16 base model. Is the M1 chip enough to edit 4k videos on DaVinci Studio and After Effects or would a windows laptop with dedicated GPU like RTX3060 be more reasonable for smooth editing?
I have a new Macbook Pro M1 Max on order and want to buy a great monitor for 4K video editing. What 32” monitor would you recommend in the $1,500 to $2,000 range?
both nvidia and ryzen doesn't give hardware acceleration for h265 422 files which is a massive hit on anyone using the modern 10 bit cameras nowadays like a7siii or canon r5 r6. however, Intel's igpu does just fine with those at least in gen 11 and gen 12 cpu's and that's what matter to me. not the small differences that benchmarks give like 12 minutes vs 11 minutes, but the huge time gaps of being hardware accelerated or not. this is why i got myself intel 11800h and rtx 3070 used laptop for 1.2k on ebay lol if gaming wasn't a requirement for me, I'd take a macbook cuz m1 also decodes h265
3d modelling is based on single core performance more than multi core. Due to the nature of how 3d modelling works , so look for faster single core speeds.
What about the SSD? is 512SSD enough for 4k editing? I thinking of the getting the gigabyte 15 laptop 4k oled 3060rtx 16gb ram 512SSD and upgrade myself to 64gb ram and 1TB SSD What you think? for 4k editing & maybe 5or6k too ?
Yeah, that would be a great start. I would however recommend having some external drives to store old projects on as your laptop will fill up as you work on more projects.
How do you rate RTX 3060 for 4K video editing on Premiere Pro and AfterEffects? Planning on purchasing ROG STRIX G15 5900HX RTX 3060 100%SRGB FHD with 1TB SSD & 16GB RAM(will upgrade to 32later)
Hi ben, i wanna upgrade my laptop ram for video editing but the maximum ram compatibility is only 12gb. How much ram do you think i have to use, 4x4gb so it can be dual channel or 4x8gb single channel ?
Maybe my questions is out of the topic... I just need for photoshop and 3D rendering in clip studio paint..., maybe do sketch up...so is the 4K cpu or anything gave any effect on it if I took 11800h?
I switched to M1 Mac using DaVinci Resolve. I came from Windows using Vegas Pro. 4k editing on M1 Mac is so smooth and fast compared to editing 1080p on Windows. Now, I can't look back again on Windows editing. All those jet engine noises of fan. Oh my. I hate that noise.
Hii,can you review Dell Inspiron 15 plus (7510) 2021 model ,it can be added to your current best video editing laptops list I guess,you should check it out
Predator i7 11 gen rtx 3060 , plugged in , turbo mode , not even getting 100 fps In medium graphic , all fps inside game set on 165, in valorant , please help, just bought it yesterday,
Maybe try disabling Optimus and run it directly through the 3060? Still doesn't make sense why it's not performing as it should though. What's the TGP of your 3060?
They're fantastic! I filmed this video before they came out. Here is my dedicated review if you're interested - th-cam.com/video/csDqSWvXfaA/w-d-xo.html
I still can't decide which one's for me. Would you please help me? I use it for editing 4K videos in Davinci Resolve and I am also 3d CAD designer. I now have a 9 year old laptop and I spend extreme amount of time dealing with 4K footage. I have to generate optimized media for every clip in davinci and that takes like 10 minutes for 2,5 minute long clip. So I spend all day for making a 3 minute video. That's crazy because I have lot's of other work which is lagging behind because of that. I value my time and don't want to be dealling with it anymore. I would like a laptop which will be perfect for me. I don't want to spend extra money if not neccessary, but I am looking at laptops up to 4000$ (they are a lot more expensive in Europe where I live then US). I was looking at Lenovo thinkpad P15 Gen2 i7-11800, 32GB of Ram. But i cant decide which graphics card is right for my type of work. Is it Nvidia RTX a3000 with 6GB of Vram which goes for 3500$ here and 4700$ for i9-11950H and Nvidia rtx A5000. Maybe middle one rtx a4000? I happen to hear that P15 become extremly hot. Any thoughts on that? I would be extremly thankfull.
@@ProBuildCarpenter hey mate. I got in contact with blacmagic designa aka davinci resolve and they toldm me to get a graphics card with at least 8GB of Vram. I will probably go with nvidia rtx a5000. It costs a lot but what can i do. I need it. Its a must for me to get a laptop and not desk pc. Hope i helped with the answer
You should really learn the basics of color science before trying to educate people. The color gamut does not imply wheter a screen leans towards a certain set of color but how many different nuances, i.e. the range of the specific color, it can reproduce.
Not true. Gpus are a must for 4k video editing... in windows, running premiere. M1 Macs running Final Cut don't have a dedicated GPU and cut 4k like butter. And you don't even need to go M1, tbh - my 2015 MacBook Pro with intel iris gpu edits 4k just fine. It's all about the software.
@@chrisziboy9732 Don't use resolve, use final cut. It's much faster. It will run all of those apps fine, but I don't use Adobe software, so I'm not the best to answer that.
Hi thanks for the video!!! I found the part about the cpu the most informative one! I would have loved to have a run down about the gpus as well!
