Best MacBook for Video Editing Posted Apr 13 2017 by Anirudh M in Apple, Gadgets, Laptops, Mac In a culture that is constantly on the go, novice and professional video editors are looking for tools with portability and power.

By 2018-09-18 17:32:22 UTC Video editing is often a tedious and intricate process that requires incredible attention to detail, long hours spent in front of editing software, and the ability to make a bunch of different factors (i.e. Sound, graphics, film) line up and come together to achieve a great final product (aka, your masterpiece.) Similarly, finding the best laptop to assist in your *work of sheer genius* also involves a lot of different components coming together into one kick-ass video editing machine. The reality is: a laptop fit for video editing is going to require some serious specs. Generally, a great video editing laptop will have a powerful processor (CPU) and graphics card (GPU), an impressive display, and a hell of a lot of memory and storage.

In an ideal world, this laptop would also offer multiple different input/output options and be relatively lightweight, because if you happen to also be shooting the video you'll edit, the last thing you want to do is add weight to your already-heavy camera equipment bag(s). Lastly, in this ideal world, these laptops would be cheap. Spoiler alert: this is the real world and these things aren't cheap.

• Offered at a very affordable price. Key Features Easy to Use: The process of recording videos is simple. Cons • Made of ABS Plastic, and seems to be very delicate. • The included USB Cable lets you transfer your videos to computers.

However, some are definitely more affordable than others — so if you're on a budget, price is obviously another huge factor to consider. SEE ALSO: Unfortunately, until the laptop-manufacturing gods (or whoever is in charge of laptop branding) decide to make 'video editing laptop' as easily identifiable as ',' we're forced to break down the specs for ourselves, seeking out the one that hits the most checkmarks on our list of necessities. Fortunately for you, we've devoured the tech specs of all of the top contenders for the best video editing laptops and organized them in a way that'll help you pick the best option for you. So whether you dream about Premiere Pro and video playback in your sleep, or you're just starting out and need a laptop that can grow with you, these are our top picks. The is a straight up power house, and when it comes to video editing, it doesn't get much better. The standard 2018 model's six core i7 processor boasts an impressive speed of 2.2GHz with Turbo Boost potential up to 4.1GHz.

(If you're really feeling reckless you can dish out an extra $400 for the 2.9GHz and 4.8GHz Turbo Boost, which are actually the highest specs on any Mac laptop ever.) Either way, to say this thing is powerful is an understatement. On top of that, you can get the Pro with 16-32 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of SSD storage, so essentially you'll be able to run several giant programs (i.e Adobe Premiere, Lightroom, etc.) simultaneously without experiencing lagging. (Technically you can get up to 4TB of SSD, which is insane and costs more, but if that's what you need, you do you.) This speed will also come in handy when it comes to exporting videos. Video editing is time consuming enough that it's a real blessing when you get to knock off minutes (or even hours) wherever you can. The MacBook Pro also features a 2880x1800 Retina display with True Tone technology, which, according to Apple, 'Uses advanced multichannel sensors to adjust the color and intensity” of the screen.

So depending on what environment you're editing in, the screen will automatically adjust so that no matter what, you see the colors on your screen as you should. The Pro has a touch bar and four Thunderbolt 3 ports, but the one downside (aside from the hefty price tag) is that it doesn't have a regular USB port or SD chip reader like other Mac models (i.e. The MacBook Air), so you'll likely need an adapter for most data transfers. The battery life on the Pro also isn't the most impressive,. But that being said, video editing is a battery-draining process regardless of your machine's capabilities, so chances are you'll keep it plugged in for long editing sessions anyway. Overall, the MacBook Pro was given its name for a reason.

It's for the pros. So if you're okay with dishing out a considerable amount of dough, this is an easy pick. You can read Mashable's full review of the 15-inch MacBook Pro. As much as we love the MacBook Pro, if you don't have a fixed affinity for Apple products, the gives the Pro a run for its money in a number of ways. Firstly, you can get the XPS 15 with either an FHD (1920x1080) display *or* a 4K ultra HD display. Even with the 4K ultra HD display and 16 GB of memory, the XPS 15 still ends up less expensive than the MacBook Pro by several hundred bucks. With the 4K display, you're getting double the screen resolution as that of the MacBook Pro and you'll also be able to export 4K videos much faster than with the Mac—so if you plan to frequently edit 4K videos, the is definitely a good choice.
