Sup y'all,

long time no talking.

So I'm currently in film school and i need a laptop for 4k(and some 6k/8k) video editing...

I have no boundary on price i just need like three other things.

-Thin and light(i have a desktop, this is used fro classes and on the shot)

- at least 15" screen

-It can be Windows or Mac-OS (if that's really the best)

 

Thanks for your help!

For Mac, check the 2019 MacBook Pro 2019 with the Vega 20 Graphics in my signature, it's superb.

 

For Windows, I suggest you one of these:

 

Custom Built MSI WS65 9TM-857 - 15.6" UHD - i7-9750H - Quadro® RTX 5000

Custom Built MSI WS65 9TL-685 - 15.6" FHD - i9-9880H - Quadro® RTX 4000

Custom Built MSI WS65 9TK-688 - 15.6" FHD - i7-9750H - Quadro® RTX 3000

 

Alienware m16 R1 | AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX | SK Hynix 64 GB 5200 MHz DDR5 RAM | GeForce RTX 4090 16 GB GDDR6 | 16" QHD+ (2560 x 1600) 240Hz, 3ms 300-nits Screen | 2x Samsung 990 PRO 4TB SSDs + WD_BLACK SN770M 2TB SSD | Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 | Windows 11 Pro

Sup y'all,

Probably whatever lenovo is currently offering, with at least an RTX 2060/2070

But thin, and 4k editing/rendering really aren't a good combo
 

 

 

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

for video editing, you probably want a high end display with color accurate profiles. 

xps 15 is good but it has its issues. there are others out there too
