When it comes to selecting a laptop for graphic design in 2021 there are a lot of choices. The question is: which laptop should you choose for graphic design? Well the one that has the right specs for your use case as a graphic designer of course.

Sounds simple, but there are a few questions that need to be addressed such as: Will you be using your computer for video editing or motion design. If that is the case then you will want a dedicated GPU and an H series processor to have the power you need to get your tasks done.

If you are mainly working on projects from a strictly graphic design standpoint you will be working in the Adobe Design suite with apps such as Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. Or for you trendy designers: Figma, Sketch, or Affinity Designer.

The goal of this video is to not only recommend to you my top 12 favorite laptops in 2021 for graphic design, but to inform you on how to pick the right one for your specific use case, or use cases.

I hope this brings you a massive amount of value and you get the perfect laptop for your graphic design needs. We’ve come a long way since my first iteration of this video back in 2017. I am proud to say this video is MUCH better than that first edition.

    Hi Ben
    I am looking for a decent 2 in 1 laptop for work as well as illustrated and painting etc on the go. When I have tried to look at specs there is no information on colour Gamut like you are presenting. Which is great as it helps with my understanding of all the tech jargon but is there anything else that will show how accurate the colours will be?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated
    😊🙏
