Videographers and photographers on the move need a laptop that can keep up with quick deadlines and handle any task from color grading to 4K video editing. For professionals who need a laptop that doesn’t compromise on processing power, color accuracy, or battery life, the Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) is our undisputed recommendation. But if you prefer Windows, or if you want a laptop that you can repair and upgrade in the future, the Dell XPS 15 9520 is the best option right now due to its processing power and OLED screen.

The fastest editing laptop
The 16-inch MacBook Pro is faster than any other laptop we’ve tested for photo or video editing, and it has truly impressive battery life, to boot.
We recommend

A great Windows alternative
The Dell XPS 15 has a vivid 3.5K display and the processing power to edit any kind of footage on the go. It’s also more repairable and upgradable than the MacBook Pro.
Another good choice
Apple MacBook Air (M1, 2020), great for 1080p

Great for 1080p
The MacBook Air is a staple of many modern office desks (or home offices in 2022), but it’s a surprisingly capable video-editing laptop, especially for lighter loads and 1080p footage.
