I don't think building one is a viable option because components where I live are overpriced and don't get cheaper enough as time passes. I need a computer just for the things I stated and I have no interest in either gaming or video editing.

What do you think I should get?
Do you have any specific brand model in mind?



Answer
These ASUS laptops

Brand buying advice

You get what you pay for. Systems with high end parts with low prices are to be viewed with suspicion. They have to cut corners somewhere to get the price down. What cost you less today is going to cost you more tomorrow.

Apple makes a good quality laptop. The problem comes when it requires service or minor upgrades. It is near impossible to do anything with them. They even glue the battery and hard drive down so you can not change it. They solder the ram to the logic board so you can not increase it. They lock up most of the software so your stuck with what they approve.

Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them.

Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony should be avoided because of their heavy modification of Windows and the drivers. If you remove some of the bloat they install, you can cripple the system.

Acer, Gateway, and eMachines should be avoided period. Low end system that are driving the race to the bottom.

Dell once made a good system and fell from grace. They are now struggling to regain their place in the market. Customer service is one of many problems with this company.

Alienware are glorified Dells and are more name then product. Priced extremely high for what you get. They do perform but you can get the same for less by looking around, just not packaged to be eye candy to the gamers.

Samsung has a history of using cheap parts in critical areas. Capacitors has been one area Samsung has a known history of going cheap, causing units to fail early. For that reason I would avoid them.

ASUS and HP do not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They have excellent build quality. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it.

Ultrabooks are the higher end of Wintel laptops but they have some of the same concerns as Apple. They make it next to impossible to change any hardware in them. Service of them will have to be done by the manufacturers. With most of them, you can not change your own battery or hard drive. They are designed to catch your eye but they are not any more special then other laptops except for the fact that they are slim or thin. Your paying for it being thin and slim. For the money your going to spend on it you can buy a much better laptop with more power.

Hybrids are the worse of the worse. The flip or detachable touch screens are just a disaster waiting to happen.

Never buy an All In One. They are far worst then laptops of any kind to service and they have a higher failure rate.

Choose wisely.

What is the best video editing laptop?




Matthew


Hey everyone,
I am getting into video editing and will be using HD video. I want to have a portable computer that has lots of power. I will primarily be using Sony Vegas and Adobe After Effects. I have a pretty large price range 1000$-3000$. I am looking for a specific model not just a brand because i notice in a lot of these answers people just suggest companies. I want a specific model computer with lots of power, good graphics, and preferably not to bulky. Thanks



Answer
I suggest that you shop around for laptops with similar specs. HP, Dell, Toshiba and ASUS laptops are usually overpriced for their hardware so beware for retailer trickery.

My recommended specs are:

17"+ 1920x1080 screen resolution because you're working with HD footage.
2.8 Ghz+ Intel Core i7/i5 for good video encoding speed
64 bit OS
4GB RAM DDR2 800/DDR3 or more

I suggest you get one with similar specs and upgrade the RAM to save money.

I can't really recommend to you a specific model. Lots of things vary and possibilities are limitless. There are some good high-end Samsung's, Toshiba Qosimo's and HP Pavilion DV6's.

  1. The best PC for photo editing needs to be able to handle high res files with ease, since you’ll most likely be working with high resolution photos. And, though a dedicated GPU is very helpful, it might be overkill for some people’s needs, so make sure the integrated graphics is powerful enough.

    iMac (24-inch, 2021)
    iMac (27-inch, 2020)

  2. The Gigabyte Aero 17 (2021) is one of the most powerful laptops for photo editing you'll find at the moment, combining a 10th generation Intel Core i9 processor with 8-cores, along with the Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card, one of the most powerful GPUs you'll find in a laptop at the moment.

    What really makes it stand out for photo editing, however, is the fact that it offers a stunning 4K HDR screen, with 100% Adobe RGB coverage.
