Best Editing Laptop?

ThatGamerJake · Jul 10, 2017

I'm looking for a laptop that can edit in Davinci Resolve 14.

Video res: 1920x1080@60fps
Budget: $750

My priority is to have a smooth timeline playback with no lag. I don't care about render time.

this isn't the best editing laptop out there but it will get the job done.

plus its from asus and they make good laptops swell with many other things

Absolutely TERRIBLE buy.
Only dual core with 6GB of RAM.
Get this, has 8 threads opposed to 2, and 16GB of RAM, it's much better for your uses.

I know.
The two main aspects of video editing are CPU power & thread count and RAM.
Perhaps you should do some research into what's needed before posting.

Looks like a nice laptop. My priority is to be able to watch playback at 30fps with no lag. Would I need something better than Intel HD graphics than that? Like a GTX 1050?

I need a laptop that can smoothly playback the timeline. I don't care about rendering times. Would a GTX 1050 work in a laptop or is that overkill for editing?

You need at least an i7 7500u, that's the thing, and the deals at the moment for a little bit more give you significantly better performance, so there's really no reason not to, halves rendering times, allows for much smoother playback and will serve you better. a mobile i5 will be laggy even scrubbing a timeline, that's using my i5 4210u laptop as a reference here.
A graphics card will help with acceleration and general stability too depending on the program.
