Best Laptop for Ableton Song Mixing & Video Editing up to The $4000 Price Range

Looking to purchase a new laptop & was wondering what the quickest, most suitable laptop would be in any price rate to do some proper video editing & song mixing.

  • Needs to be speedy & perform well with multiple programs running
  • Decent Storage / RAM

I have an android phone & old Apple & Windows basic laptops. I do prefer windows PC's in general but interested in hearing what options are out there.

    most suitable laptop would be in any price rate

    You know how expensive they can get right? Pushing the $9K-10K price range?

      Yep sure do, which is why I mentioned all price ranges. Keen on seeing some low budget ones but also the higher ticketed laptops. Trying to compare the difference between them & see if its worth it for me.

    Can't really answer that question if there's no price constraint— you can kit out a MacBook (or a PC for that matter) with the fastest CPU, most RAM, most storage etc you can find and just buy that if money is no object to you.

      Lets say around the 2-4k mark & ideally would like to avoid Apple, prefer Windows operating systems

  • Check something along the lines of Dell precision workstation or HP zbook etc. Choose a processor / gpu for your needs. Also check if the video editing tools recommend a GPU.

      14" Razer Blade 14 has 7940HS + RTX4070 but 1xM.2 storage slot. Use Thunderbolt/USB4 for more storage. Might be 5k though.
      15" Dell XPS 15 has 13700H + RTX4070 and 2xM.2 storage slots. Letdown by not using vapor chamber cooling.
      16" Lenovo Yoga Slim Pro 9i has 13905H + RTX4070, 2xM.2 storage slots, mini-LED LCD.
      16" ASUS ZenBook Pro 16X OLED has 13905H + RTX4080, 1xM.2 storage slot.

      • Thats for that, currently I'm looking at the Razer 15 & Dell XPS 15 !
