Choose a Windows laptop with at least an Intel Core i7 or Ryzen 7 processor. Going to perform demanding graphics tasks? Keep in mind that you'll also need a dedicated video card. If you prefer MacBook, you need at least an M4 chip. For demanding graphics tasks, we recommend at least an M4 Pro chip. Choose at least 16GB RAM, so you can quickly switch between programs.
