Crowdsourcing: Which Laptop is Best for Using Shotcut?

OK guys, I’m crowdsourcing here. I’m starting to edit more 2K and 4K video and my old gaming laptop isn’t cutting it anymore…even with Proxy mode. I think I’m due for a new laptop. For reference, I’d been using an Acer Nitro 5 with an AMD 5 2500U with a Radeon Vega Mobile GFX 2.00 Ghz, 32 GB RAM. Now, it’s chugging away so slowly, that I want to upgrade. Here are what’s currently sitting on my Amazon shopping cart. Which one would you get for Shotcut and why?: SAMSUNG 15.6” Galaxy Book2 Pro A…

Further down the thread, there was mention of an $875 laptop that should perform very well. Getting a solid video performer laptop at $600 may not be realistic. Maybe from a friend as a favor, but not from a retailer, unless you find a great refurbished deal.

@Austin thank you for reminding me that Shot is configured differently than other video-editing tools. It’s deceiving when these vloggers come up with their top 10 lists of best video editing laptops, because they most likely are focused solely on using Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve. I now am reminded that I need to focus more on CPU rather than GPU. What do you think of this laptop?

If it’s possible to buy another computer in a year, is a laptop truly necessary? What about a tower computer that’s even cheaper at $270 for a year, and save money for the next computer?
