At least 16GB system RAM, but as you’ll see in my selections below, if you look carefully you can find 32GB in this price range also.Nothing changes faster than computer specs, so I’ll do my best to update the info here and my selections at least every couple of months. Since May 2021 I’m starting to add 11th generation options such as the 2021 ASUS TUF Dash F15 with the i7 11370H, configured with 40GB RAM and RTX3060 which is amazing value at the $1700 point. The 10th generation Intel i7-10750H is a common processor to the laptops I investigated in this price and performance range.It’ll be good for HD and most 4K work on a budget.
DaVinci Resolve has a few important minimum system requirements that need to be met, and in this price range the M1 Macbook Pro 13″ is also a good choice.īelow is a summary of what to look for in an affordable 2020 / 2021 model gaming laptop to run DaVinci Resolve.
I’ve selected a few excellent options.Īny of the choices I suggest below represent great value for money, and while a year ago I did not include a Mac in this list, that’s changed now with the Apple M1 powered Macs. Buying a laptop to run DaVinci Resolve on a $1500 to $2000 budget is easier than you’d think.
