How do you choose a laptop for video editing?

Which Windows laptop for video editing suits you best, depends on what you'll use it for:

• Want to edit light videos as a hobby?
• Want to edit videos professionally?
• Want to edit videos in 4K?
• Want to edit RAW videos?
• Which screen quality do you need?

Do you sometimes edit videos and want to edit as a hobby? you don't need a powerful laptop. We do recommendan Intel Core i7, Ultra 7, or AMD Ryzen 7 processor. That way, you can smoothly edit vacation videos or short videos in programs like Adobe Premiere Pro.

Need to edit videos for your work? You need a powerful laptop. Choose at least an Intel Core i7, Ultra 7, or AMD 7 Ryzen processor, 32GB RAM, and a dedicated video card. That way, you can smoothly edit videos the entire working day. With the dedicated video card, your videos render faster and you can edit larger video files. Choose an Intel Core i9, Ultra 9, or AMD Ryzen 9 if you want to edit videos even faster. It's also important to have enough storage space for all your videos. For large video files, you often need 1TB storage or more.

For 4K video editing, we recommend at laptop or monitor with a 4K screen. That way, you can see all details of your videos. It's also important that your laptop renders 4K videos quickly. That's why you need at least an Intel Core i7, Ultra 7, or AMD Ryzen 7 processor, 32GB RAM, and a dedicated video card. 4K videos take up a lot of storage space, so we recommend 1TB storage or more if you want to store many 4K videos.

With RAW video editing, it's mainly important that you have a lot of storage space. RAW videos take up a lot of space. That's why we recommend an external SSD, so you always have enough storage space for all your RAW videos. RAW video files also require more processing power from your laptop. We recommend laptops with at least an Intel Core i7, Ultra 7, or AMD Ryzen 7 processor, 32GB RAM, and a dedicated video card. Choose an Intel Core i9, Ultra 9, or AMD Ryzen 9 processor if you want to edit RAW videos even faster.

Thanks to a high screen quality, you can see all details clearly while video editing. With an OLED or Mini-LED panel type, colors are more realistic and more colorful. In addition, color spaces and color depth play an important role in how you see the colors on your screen. The larger the color space, the intenser the colors on your screen thanks to the bright color tones. With more color depth, you enjoy a better color transition. That way, the red tones of a sunset blend in together more realistically. We recommend DCI-P3 for video editing.

The most popular program for video editing is Adobe Premiere Pro. This program is useful for beginners and for professionals. You can use special effects and easily edit color gradations. You can also add audio effects, mix background noises, and shorten videos. Want to edit videos professionally, but don't know how? AI can help you.
