This video covers how you can pick the best laptop for you for whatever your design goals may be.

Whether it be an Apple Macbook Pro, an Asus Zenbook Pro, Dell XPS, or whatever else you decide on, picking hardware that matches your personal needs as well as your budget is an important thing to consider.

I go through what many of the common specifications are for laptops to hopefully help you become more informed when reading about the different laptops out there and making the best choice for you.

Ultimately great designers make great designs regardless of the hardware that they are using. Picking the perfect specialized laptop for you is more the icing on the cake to help you work faster. Apple or Windows operating systems won't make you great, and I don't want this video to be about that discussion.
