Best Laptops For DaVinci Resolve

What laptop should you use for video editing with DaVinci Resolve? These are my results from running the Puget Systems DaVinci Resolve benchmark on a number of different laptops with Resolve versions 18, 17 and 16. I’ve used the 4K test in all cases. A higher score is better, so the higher performing laptops are closer to the top of the graph below. Generally, higher scores are accompanied by higher tier graphics.

Of course you’ll also want a good screen for this workload! I’ve got colour gamut and brightness results covered here.
