Best Specs for Graphic Design Laptops

What are the best specs for a Graphic Design laptop in 2022? In this video, I am going to walk through the CPU, GPU, Storage, and RAM specs for laptops.

Each of the components in a capable Graphic Design laptop works together to provide the performance necessary for designing in the essential graphic design tools such as the Adobe Creative Cloud, Affinity Suite, Sketch, and Figma.

well I appreciate your video and based on your specs I just purchased a new laptop with i7 1195G7, 16 GB Ram, and it has a graphic card. I'm planning to install the Affinity Suite and look forward to finally having a robust platform to work on. thanks for the tips

Thanks, you explained everything about what each part does and what do the numbers mean so clearly, ihad never really understood what all the pc components did and im sure i got bamboozled when buying my last pc because of it.

Great video, thanks thanks

Another great video. I love how thorough you are! I feel there is too much choice with laptops and they bring out new versions too quickly. Would be ok if they were user serviceable to upgrade ram, ssd etc. i think the new Gigabyte Aero is nearly perfect now they have a 16:10 screen. Shame they only have USB C now. It’s almost comical now as Apple has brought the ports back.

Hey Ben G! Thanks for another great video, always appreciate your helpful content. Wondering if you could make a video about upgradeable RAM. Ie: which laptops are upgradeable as I know some of them are soldered. Or perhaps someone in the comments could help? Thank you from Australia!

You never mentioned how display resolution is important the higher the better
How sRGB coverage percentage is important the higher the precentage.

Really helpful video, i’m trying to find a new laptop so I can both do graphic design and play some indie games and it should look quite (cause I’m a girl😂) you helped a lot

Hi Ben, need your comment.
Its hard for me to decide between legion 5 Amd 5800, 3060 Rtx vs Hp omen 15 Amd 5800, 3060 Rtx.
I will use for 4k, 6k video editing and 3d modelling sometimes

Rule of thumb, Windows 11 background will use ~8GB of you RAM already. So plan on at least 32GB of RAM in 2023 and beyond.
