What Notebook/Laptop to buy

[joshuahuebner]

This is for all the tech nerds in this forum.

I want to buy a new laptop, mainly for video editing (Premiere Pro) and Photoshop. My budget is 2000€, and I think the Black Friday deals are a good opportunity to buy. I don’t know much about hardware, so I would love to hear your recommendations.

I do need at least 32GB of RAM.

What do you think about the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16?

Thanks in Advance

You're probably better off doing some research on your own man. AI can help too with the basic understanding if you lack basic knowledge.

Why not one of the latest M4 or M4 Pro MacBook Pro's?

If you are okay with macOS and aren't going to game on it, in terms of power/efficiency, durability, and especially battery life, they're great. Also, long term software updates. But it'd have to be one with 24gb of unified RAM--it's presumably quite efficient too.

I'd also consider the path Windows is going down with the invasive AI, spyware, etc.

Nothing really comes close to the new mac-books in terms of flawless performance and responses. It has an organic-feel to it and seems to flow more cohesively with human consciousness than windows. Windows can be quite jarring and compartmentalizing on the brain. If you care about your brain and eye-health go for the nano-textured display.

I actually went for the new MacBook Pro M4. Best decision. I’m completely satisfied with it

Nice. Probably one the best laptops out there.
