What is the best laptop for music production?
I have seen some youtubers advice the most horrable laptops.
2
last video: computer for music production: pretty general
this video: zoom in on laptops and, what to look out for, brands, and name 5 models
3
Enough talking lets dive into it
SCENE 4
So who I am I to say that?
I have a degree in software engineering and developed a pretty good understanding how computers work and how software works from the inside.
I also worked at a computer store for 10 years.
A good friend of mine owns a computer store and adviced my about the latest ins and outs
SCENE 5
Not interested in advice, only the 5 models of laptops that I would recommend. skip to the end of the video.
SCENE 6
when portablity is an option not a nessasity choose a desktop.
Speed and moneywise a laptop is the worst option.
consessions in speed to fit components in small space, they charge you extra for that
Laptops are not made to be speedy, but portable.
Manufacturers do concessions in speed to fit components in a small space.
SCENE 7
levels: budget, mid range, professional (this video), absurd expensive
VOICE OVER 1
Recommendations specs
SCENE 8
-i7 processor, maybe i9 with at least 4 cores
AMD or Intel processor. AMD problems with midi controllers and NO Thunderbolt
SCENE 9
-16 gb ram, 8gb bare minimum. can’t add memory in a lot of laptops
SCENE 10
-hard drive:
important is that you look at the speed of your hard drive. 5400 RPM can be too slow to read multiple tracks ‘at once’ from your hard drive. choose 7200 rpm or better SSD
SCENE 11
Ssd good for battery life
256 gb ssd is far too little. 500gb bare minimum, 1tb is even on the low side.
You will run out of hd space sooner or later. Not a question if but when.
With 256 gb probably after installing your daw and sample packs.
SCENE 12
Yes they are expensive
SCENE 13
-17 inch scherm, 15 inch absolute minimum
SCENE 14
-external monitor connection -save on 17” monitor
SCENE 15
-backlit keyboard
SCENE 16
-usb – apple macbooks usb-c
SCENE 17
-thunderbolt for external sound card (no AMD)
SCENE 18
-side scrolling mouse or a Apple Magic Mouse
SCENE 19
I have compiled 2 cheat sheet on my patreon.
First: recommended specs for computers in general and computerterms explained
Second: specifically for laptops. the black & whitelist and 5 models suited for production
SCENE 20
Whitelist
These computers are built to last
Hp elitebook series
Asus
Dell
Macbook pro series
SCENE 21
if offer Extended warrenty: buy it!
SCENE 22
There is a reason why they are so expensive. More quality components like hinges, motherboard.
After something is broken after 3 years, they can probably fix it
