hello there have you just started your art degree if that's the case then you
need a laptop and luckily for you there are thousands of laptops these days as
good as that sounds it can make it very overwhelming and confusing to find
yourself a laptop in 2020 as an artist you just want a very good laptop that is
proven to work well for artists that's exactly what I got through hours of
research and talking to many artists and reading as many blogs as I could get my
hands on I found exactly what you need as an artist if you want to know more
make sure to check the detailed blog which will be linked in the description
below and all the laptops in this video will be linked in the description you
deserve better products
if you agree with that make sure to subscribe so coming up in number five we have the
Acer spin three convertible laptop this is an amazing affordable option if you
don't have the biggest budget in the world and this is gonna be a very good
option for you this laptop from Acer is gonna be an
amazing choice for most artists it is built very well by Acer and it's one of
the laptops with the most positive reviews I've ever seen which means
people don't have any problems with this laptop so this laptop has a 360-degree
rotatable screen which makes it turn into kind of a tablet and what's cool is
that this stylus comes with the laptop you don't have to pay any extra and the
stylus has a slot in the laptop so you don't have to worry about losing it as
of the specs of this laptop it has an eighth generation Intel i7 8000 565 you
it has Intel's integrated graphics which is UHD graphic 615 and it comes with an
amazing 16 gigabytes of RAM this storage is 512 gigabytes of SSD storage and the
display is a 1080p full HD IPS touch panel so IPS panels are usually much
preferred for artists IPS panels are known to have the most accurate colors
out of all other panel types laptops on the cheaper and usually have TN panels
and TN panels usually look very bad so the only downside I could possibly find
on this laptop is the fact that it's not updated with the latest USB C ports but
to be honest not everybody needs a USB C port anyways the USB 2 port is fine but
if you want a USB C then you're gonna have to wait for the next laptops
despite the fact it has this tiny disadvantage it has an amazing
touchscreen and a good trackpad an SD card reader and a keyboard that feels
very good so if you want to do some video editing live gaming and maybe some
3d projects this will definitely be a good entry-level option as it has a
pretty powerful CPU as for artists who want to draw it has a very accurate
stylus pen another cool feature with this laptop is the fingerprint reader so
if you just hate passwords like me and you just want a secure way to get into
your laptop it has the fingerprint reader and most
importantly it has up to 12 hours of battery life coming up in number four we
have the Lenovo flex 14 this is gonna be your best budget artist laptop so the
pros of this laptop it is not expensive it has a 360 rotation display it has an
IPS display panel and the pen that comes with it has 4096 pressure levels and
there are no cons for this laptop at this price so this is an overall
outstanding laptop for the price so if you want the best laptop for art
projects and drawing on a budget then this is the way to go so now let's talk
about the specs if you love Intel CPUs it has an eighth generation Intel i5
8200 65 you as for AMD it has a risin 5 3500 you processor if you'd ask me I
recommend you go with the horizon it would perform better than the i5 at a
lower price as for the GPU the Intel one comes with you HD graphics 615 and the
AMD option comes with a dedicated radium Vega 8 graphics card so Ram the Intel
option comes with 8 gigabytes of RAM the Ryzen comes with 12 gigabytes of RAM and
storage you can pick what you need it has 128 256 or 512 gigabytes of course
and the display is a 1080p full HD IPS touch panel so the price of this thing
is insane compared to other laptops that are good for artists this is like half
their price it's not like the specs are bad either I mean it has amazing specs
so if you want to use simple artist programs or drawing programs like
Photoshop or the Adobe Illustrator or anything that is not very intense this
is a perfect option now this laptop and come with two different stylus pens
I recommend go for the lenovo active pen 2 as it provides a very natural feeling
of writing sketching and drawing and it also has configurable buttons to speed
up your work and improve your overall productivity I
mean at this price it feels like there must be some cash but there isn't so
just go for it if it's within your budget this is an
amazing option coming up number three we have the Microsoft Surface book - this
is 2 in 1 laptop in beast mode so if you want a 2 in 1 laptop that has amazing
specs then this is definitely the best option you could go for it is a very
very powerful laptop for a 2 in 1 laptop like I don't even know how they put so
much specs in such a tiny laptop so it has a superb detachable screen and this
laptop with the specs can even play Triple A games at high settings this
thing is amazing so let's talk about the specs it has an eighth generation until
i7 8650 you or you could also opt for the i5 version so this is where this
laptop stands out it has an nvidia geforce gtx 1060 6 gigabyte graphics card
so it has a dedicated graphics card and not only a dedicated graphics card it
has like a gtx 1060 graphics card this is so strong for a 2 in 1 laptop so what
else it has 16 gigabytes of RAM and it has 512 gigabytes of storage if you want
more you could also opt for the one terabyte storage option and it uses an
SSD for storage which is much faster than the old storage types like hard
disks and it has a whopping 3260 by 2160p pixels display with an IPS panel
IPS panels have amazing accurate colors which is going to be very good for
coloring your graphical designs and artwork so if you want something that
actually feels like a laptop yet it works as a two-in-one option this is the
best option the other two-in-one options have this gimmicky feeling like a
paper-thin keyboard and other weird things but know this laptop has an
amazing keyboard and it looks just like a normal laptop
little do you know all you do is just click something and boom your screen
pops out now you have a tablet and not only do you have a tablet you have a
tablet with amazing specs so honestly Microsoft did an amazing job with this
laptop as for connectivity it has the futures port which is USBC so the only
downside on this laptop is you have to buy the Microsoft pen separately
Microsoft will always try and get the most money they can out of it but in
this laptop every penny is gonna be worth it based on many benchmarks done
on this laptop it will literally chew up anything you throw at it so intense
video editing gaming 3d design this will do it all but keep in mind is not
intended for very intense use it's not a workstation laptop it's a lightweight
very convenient portable amazing laptop coming up in number two we have the
Microsoft Surface pro 7 this laptop is an improvement of Microsoft's highly
successful surface pro 6 Microsoft Surface pro 6 was a very successful
laptop and many artists around the globe were using it it was being used for
graphical design digital arts you name it anything so what Microsoft did here
is they took the amazing mind set off if it ain't broke don't fix it so what they
did is they tweaked the pro 7 here and there but they didn't change it too much
so you keep the amazing features of the pro 6 so this laptop also has a 10th
generation until i7 processor it is the i7 1065 G and there is also an i-5
option if you want that the GPU is Intel's iris + graphics which comes with
the tenth generation CPUs the integrated graphics of the tenth generation CPUs is
so much better than the previous generations so it means that you don't
need to have a dedicated GPU with this laptop the tenth generation CPU offers
an amazing performance graphics wise you could even play triple-a games with this
laptop not at the highest settings of course anyways you get 16 gigabytes or 8
gigabytes of RAM and this storage is 256 gigabytes of SS
storage the display is 2736 by 1824 PixelSense display with an IPS panel
this is a very powerful laptop which doubles as an our laptop thanks to the
touch display and the very sensitive Microsoft stylus pen this laptop is a
very good option for artists willing to take their creativity to the next level
he only downside with this laptop is Microsoft try and get every penny out of
you so you have to pay separately for the pen and for the keyboard but if you
have the money for it it's well worth it so if you're gonna be doing intense
video editing or other intense artist programs like 3d programs and stuff then
I suggest you stick with the i7 version if you're going to be using simple
programs like Photoshop or other 2d artists drawing programs then I would
suggest you go for the i-5 because the i7 would be overkill and if you want
something that is future proof definitely go for the i7 because it's
definitely gonna be better throughout the next years programs are always
advancing which makes them need better specs so coming up in first place we
have the HP spectre x360 15 T this is a solid laptop from HP that looks stunning
this laptop is honestly the best future-proof laptop you can possibly get
this laptop has a wonderful design and a beautiful 4k IPS display the best part
of this laptop is it has a 10th generation Intel i7 1510 you this is
Intel's newest CPU as of 2020 this CPU can boost to a whopping 4.9 gigahertz
and this laptop comes with a dedicated GPU you can either go for the GTX 250 or
you could go for better options the reason you would go for a better
graphics card is if you are using programs that utilize having a dedicated
graphics card or if you want to play video games
I can't list every single program out for you but some programs are very good
at using a GPU and some don't really and they only care about having a good
CPU generally speaking most artists software are gonna benefit from having a
good CPU and a lot of RAM which is where this laptop excels it has an amazing CPU
and has 16 gigabytes of RAM plus 32 gigabytes of Intel obtained memory and
this storage is a 512 gigabytes SSD and of course as we mentioned it has a 4k
fully touch IPS display and a quick reminder is if you are into 3d design
you definitely want to go with the option with a better GPU as most 3d
programs utilize having a good GPU for rendering and as for the laptop it has
all the latest connectivity options it has a camera kill switch for privacy and
it also has a fingerprint reader so I don't know if you've heard of this
before but if you have a very bad virus on your PC they can easily spy on you
through your laptop's webcam but HP solved this problem really well so there
is a switch you switch it and it's a mechanical switch so what it does is it
shuts off electricity to the camera so even if a hacker wanted to spy on you
through your camera it won't work so that will ensure that you get the
privacy you deserve another amazing thing is this laptop uses the latest
Wi-Fi 6 technology of 2020 and it also uses Bluetooth 5 these features are very
hard to find in laptops and most companies haven't introduced them yet to
their laptops this laptop has all the newest technologies in it and it's a
very good future proof option so to be honest with you you want to get the best
device you could possibly get then this is the way to go you are never gonna
regret this laptop as an artist so if you guys enjoyed this video make sure to
