Most economic choices of laptop for video editing?

Quoted By: >>965964

I want to spend my time editing videos, for fun and laboral purposes.
Also a little bit of time playing Overwatch and the liked but video editing is priority.
The softwares I use are vegas pro, after effects, premiere pro and for audio Reaper and fl studio.
Also I want to learn Photoshop and Illustrator and if possible connect my wacom to make digital art.
Obs is a must too since I have to show learning tutorials in some platforms and it's the best recording software I've used.

Also, i've found some that my wallet covers, but I don't know if they'll be able to fit my task needs. Or if they will last long.

define "economic" by specifying a budget
also what kind of video editing (a shitton of animation and effects or simple cuts) at what resolution (1080p or 4k)?

I'm gonna use a lot of tracks sincerely. And yeah, a shitton animations because I like to lose myself sometimes and don't want to kill the laptop.
So I need a really good one, but don't have too much. So I just want the best of the list.

I can only provide one piece of advice for you in your search - you should look for devices with the strongest CPUs and RAM for video editing. I would not suggest going for i3s or anything under 8GB of memory. 16GB would be great, but that's probably out of your budget. It would be nice if you listed prices for each model and specific CPU information so other anons can help you decide. Do you have any external drives? Video files can be really big, so 128/256GB of storage can run out rather quickly.

So in resume a I5 or i7 processor and 8 or more RAM?

try to find a 6-8 core cpu and at least 8gb or ram that can be upgraded
pro tip: used AMD laptops are cheaper than and laptops and way cheaper than windows laptops
the gpu doesn't really matter as long as you have a dedicated one
after effects mainly uses cpu
your best choises are a used asus tuf a15, a used lenovo legion 5 or a new lenovo ideapad 3
again midrange-cheap intel laptops with at least 6 cores are hard to find
I have an intel i7 8550u and nvidia mx130 with 8gb of ram
I edit short videos with a shitton of animation and I have to wait 15-20 minutes for a fucking 3 minute video
during this process after effects uses 20% of the gpu and 80-100% of the cpu
ram is an issue only when I'm trying to open another big app besides after effects and my 15 brave tabs eg: premier pro/photoshop
please go with an used one
if you can find them at a decent price, they can't even have 1 year of usage (because all of them were released in 2020)

That's because AMD has not made a good mobile processor, in the entire history of the company, before Ryzen 4xxxU. Pricing reflects this.

Not OP but that seems like a strange pairing. I'm sure the mx250 was out for a while when the 8th gen processers released. You sure you have a MX130?
I only ask because I'm curious and was considering going with an MX graphics card for my next laptop which I was considering for similar needs

>>965365
Pricing will be key in what to advise you. As it is the best one we could suggest is the one with the best specs (the GTX 1050), but it might be too overpriced compared to the rest. As others have said, buying used is a good option.
I have Intel UHD graphics in mine and Premiere Pro runs mostly OK, but it can feel slow sometimes just to do things. But then again I usually have a stupid number of tabs open and only 8GB RAM.

mx150 is GT1030. Easy mistake to make.

You know more about this than me, but you do have Mercury Acceleration (CUDA) turned on?

If you haven't already, use Throttlestop to undervolt your CPU. Less volts = less heat = more turbo = more clock = faster rendering.

So long as you don't set it to run on startup, it's perfectly safe, the worst you'll do by setting it too low is bluescreen it and reboot.

OP here. I've found a HP 15-cw1028la AMD Ryzen 3. 12GB RAM ddr4 256GB ssd. Graphic card AMD Radeon Vega 6. Cache memory 6mb. 15.6 screen. According to my wallet.
It sounds good to me. But it's an HP, and that's what I'm afraid of. They have a brutally bad reputation.

OP, is there someone out there who's going to shoot you dead if you post a CPU model number?

AMD have made ten mobile ryzen 3 processors, and the best one is literally three times as fast as the worst one.

Starting with the actually good mobile ryzens, they renamed "vega" to "amd radeon graphics". Don't ask me why, just use it as an indicator species: if the word "vega" appears anywhere, the laptop is ungood.

For example, here's a Ryzen 3 4300U making a Ryzen 7 3700U look like an obsolete piece of crap, whilst using just over two thirds of the power.

Zen 1's chief advantage was that AMD could make them cheap and pile them high, which worked great in desktops where you could get away with "95W TDP LOL", but not in laptops, where you can only fit two cores and they overheat and throttle anyway.

Zen+ was no better, it wasn't until Zen 2, shrunk to 7nm and marketed as Ryzen X 4xxx/Ryzen X 5xxx, that AMD finally got a handle on overheating. The 4xxx and later are actually good, but the ones before it are not, which is why you need to check the model number.

OP here again. Found another one.
HP PAVILLION. AMD Ryzen7 3700U. 15.6'. 512GB SSD. 16GB RAM. AMD Radeon RX Vega 10.
If not good for being Vega. >>966128 shall be right.

If it's significantly cheaper, then it can still be a good deal.

I know, but there are rumors that Vega is bad with gaming, so it must be bad with video editing

All onboard is bad with gaming, it's just that AMD has a habit of lying and saying it isn't. Iris is actually worse than Vega, but Iris is just being marketed as "onboard but a bit better", not "a gaming PC for less than a gaming PC".

Anyways, 3700U will definitely be worse than 4300U, but if it's cheaper by more than it's worse, that means it's a better deal.

I know it's difficult to find the information, especially on Amazon, but do try to find out what processors your candidates have. It's really difficult for anyone to help you when all they've got to go on is "an i5".

OP HERE.
I've finally got my options.
This is a quick edit list of the laptops I can afford with help.
Please tell me which ones have the best performances so I can choose the cheaper of them to not bother the ones who will help me too much.

The RTX2060 will have the best performance but it could be overkill for your needs.
The 1660 will probably be OK but if you just want the best performance it's the 2060
