Key notes
Video editing requires more resources from your laptop than other computer tasks. This is why it has to be equipped with a powerful hardware configuration.
The CPU has to be strong enough to handle editing software and the amount of RAM memory has to be at least 16GB to work without lagging.
For a better visual experience, I suggest considering a laptop with a dedicated graphics card with a minimum of 4GB.
Usually, a laptop that has the above hardware configuration is a bit pricy, but here is a list of the best models for a budget under 1500$.
ASUS ROG G15
Asus ROG 15 is well known in the gaming community but the hardware configuration makes it perfect for video editing as well.
The ultrafast 240Hz refresh rate of the display makes the flow of fast-paced video look impeccably smooth.
It comes with the latest 10th generation Intel Core I7 CPU, which in combination with GeForce RTX 2070 GPU makes this laptop a great deal.
ASUS ZenBook 15
Besides the performance of the hardware configuration, the big plus for Asus ZenBook 15 is the innovative Screenpad 2.0.
The intelligent Screenpad is a 5.65-inch touchscreen with multiple functions that will save you time. You can switch between numeric pad, app navigator, and handwriting. It also allows you to add quick keys to personalize hotkeys sequences.
Another cool feature is its portability, it’s an ultra-slim laptop with only 3.6 pounds. Easy to carry wherever you go.
MSI GL64 Leopard
When speaking of performance, MSI GL64 Leopard is a nice surprise given the price.
Packed with the latest Intel i7 and RTX 2070 graphics on top of the 16GB RAM, gives the impression that nothing will slow it down.
Heavy video editing will heat up any system, but no worries with GL65 Leopard. It comes with a revolutionary cooling system, for both CPU and GPU.
Dell G5 15
Dell is a popular brand, known to build durable and performant laptops on a budget, exactly like Dell G5 15 model.
The 15.6 inches display, with full HD anti-glare LED-Backlit, delivers you stunning visual from every angle.
The dual-fan cooling system helps to keep the system cool under video editing pressure and lets you work uninterrupted.
Acer Nitro 5
Acer might not be your first choice, but the Acer Nitro 5 laptop presented here, is the best you can get with a smaller budget.
Hardware components give you enough performance to work with any editing software you want to.
The display itself is perfect for video editing tasks. It has 17.3 inches, Full HD Widescreen, and IPS technology with 144 HZ refresh rate and 3 ms response time.
The above list will help you find the best laptop for you, depending on your needs, preferences, and budget.
All of them are packed with a dedicated NVIDIA graphic card, 16 GB RAM, and a powerful CPU. The differences are in display technology, storage amount, and unique features depending on the producer.
These characteristics make them perfectly suitable for video editing.
