Best Laptop for Artists
For a whole year I was choosing a laptop for myself, and I realized that the market now lacks the ideal laptop for an artist and creator. I was able to find one option that came as close as possible to my requirements.
As soon as this laptop comes to me and I test its capabilities, I will make a separate post. In the meantime, I want to describe the laptop of my dreams, as I imagined it when I first started looking, and how my vision has changed over time.

I must say right away that I am not a super-rich artist, so I was guided by a budget of no more than $ 1000, and it would be ideal to meet $ 750-800.
I need a laptop for artist work with videos, photos and drawings. I mainly use Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Zbrush, OBS for streaming; I also program in Python. Initially, I was focused only on laptop performance and selected a device with the following technical characteristics:
- fresh processor line intel i5 or i7;
- screen diagonal from 15″ to 17″ with a tail of inches;
- from 16 GB of RAM;
- SSD or SDD + HDD memory;
- screen resolution from 1920×1080 FHD;
- Discrete graphics card NVIDIA 1050 or higher.

After selecting a few suitable models, I found that these are gaming laptops for gamers; their weight was about 2.7-3 kg. The design in most cases was also playful with bright buttons, colored backlighting and an aggressive case..

Entry-level gaming laptops usually have screens that are not very suitable for graphics work, since the color gamut is only 50% sRGB and below. Having studied the laptop market a bit, I decided to look for a lighter laptop / ultrabook with a better display
