Laptops for graphic design
Looking for a laptop for graphic design, so you can edit all your photos and videos? First think of what kind of graphic work you're going to do. Are you only going to edit photos, or do you also want to edit videos and create industrial designs? If you're going to do demanding graphic edits, you need a more powerful processor. Choose a Windows laptop if you like to work with the Windows operating system. Choose an Apple MacBook if you want to work with macOS.

Apple MacBook for graphic design tasks
The Apple MacBook is useful for graphic design, thanks to the powerful Apple silicon chips, the razor-sharp screen, and the long battery life. Want to get started with graphic design or photo and video editing? Choose a MacBook with at least an M3 chip. For editing demanding audio and video files, we recommend at least the M3 Pro chip. For the most demanding edits such as 3D design and app development, choose the M3 Max chip. This processor has the most graphic cores, which means it has more power to render, produce, and process your content.
The best laptop for you
Which type of screen suits you?
The better the screen, the more details you see while editing. You can see razor-sharp details on a screen with a high resolution. With an OLED or Mini-LED screen, you see colors more realistically. Color spaces and color depths also play an important part in how the colors look on your screen. The more color space, the intenser the colors on your screen are thanks to the bright color tones. With more color depth, you can enjoy a better transition of colors. Red tones of a sunset blend together even more realistically, for example. We recommend Adobe RGB for photo editing and DCI-P3 for photo and video editing.
- With a mid-range screen, you can see the details on the screen well thanks to a high resolution. You can also enjoy realistic colors.
- With a high-end screen, you won't miss a single detail while editing thanks to the higher resolution. You can also enjoy realistic and bright colors.
