What Actually Matters for Editing
Ignore marketing fluff. These six specs decide whether 4K Premiere plays smooth or stutters — and whether your grade in Resolve looks the same on the client's monitor.
GPU (the real bottleneck)
Premiere / Resolve offload H.264, H.265, AV1 encode-decode to GPU. RTX 4060/4070/4080 or Apple M-series GPU is a must. Integrated graphics = 4K stutter.
Colour-accurate display
100% DCI-P3 or sRGB coverage, Pantone-validated / Calman-verified, delta-E < 2. OLED or mini-LED preferred. Anything less — your grade won't match the client's screen.
32GB+ RAM (16GB is not enough)
4K multi-cam Premiere alone eats 20-24GB. Add After Effects RAM preview and you'll swap constantly on 16GB. Get 32GB minimum, 64GB for pro work.
1TB+ NVMe SSD (fast + big)
4K ProRes 422 is ~250 GB/hour. You need PCIe Gen4 NVMe (5000+ MB/s) for real-time scrub. 1TB minimum, 2TB ideal, or add external Thunderbolt SSD.
Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 ports
For external RAID scratch drives, external displays, and 90W+ charging. MacBook Pros and premium Windows creator laptops have TB4 — budget gaming laptops usually don't.
Battery + cooling that lasts
Sustained GPU render kills battery in 40 min on a gaming laptop. Creator laptops (ProArt, XPS, ZBook, MacBook) hit 6-14 hr with balanced cooling for long shoots.

MacBook Pro M4 vs Windows Creator Laptops
Honest answer — both are excellent in 2026. Pick the ecosystem you're comfortable with. Here's how they compare on the metrics that matter.

| Premiere Pro / After Effects | ✓ Works great | ✓ Same or faster on RTX 4070/4080 |

| Battery under sustained load | ✓ 8-14 hr, silent | 2-4 hr under GPU render |
| Upgradeable RAM / SSD | — | ✓ On many models |
| Ports / expandability | ✓ 3× TB4, HDMI, SD | ✓ USB-A + TB4 + Ethernet |

Our take: Doing ProRes, Final Cut Pro, or long-shoot travel editing? → MacBook Pro M4. Heavy Premiere + After Effects + VFX + budget-conscious? → ASUS ProArt StudioBook or MSI Creator.
