Size

If you want to move around frequently with your laptop, prefer something between 13.3” to 14.5”, while if portability is not so important, choose a larger screen for more clarity and comfort, such as 15” to 17”.

Processor

Here you will need something very powerful. If you are on a budget, a Core i7 or Ryzen 7 will perform satisfactorily in most programs.

However, if you are interested in rendering 3D graphics and video editing in fast times, it is worth investing in a Core i9 or Ryzen 9, as they are the most powerful generation of processors.

RAM Memory

A value for money solution is to find a laptop with at least 16GB RAM memory, as it will ensure smooth operation, even with heavy multitasking.

However, if you are into programming or running programs like Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, CAD, MATLAB, R, and Python, opt for 32GB, as you will see a noticeable difference in speed and performance.

Graphics Card

If you do not engage in video editing, you will be fine with the integrated card that will be in your processor.

However, if your needs involve graphics, video, and motion, then the laptop should have a dedicated graphics card for maximum performance.

Prefer the latest generations of cards from Nvidia and AMD, the RTX 40 series and RX 7000 series respectively. For maximum performance and a future-proof laptop, invest in RTX 4080 & 4090 or in RX 7700 & RX 7900.

Storage Space

If you store files that take up a lot of space like video, opt for a model with at least 1TB of memory.

For simpler use, 512GB will be sufficient, as you can always get an external SSD to have it easily with you everywhere.
