1. MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022)

Because it contains the most recent M2 processor, the most recent MacBook Pro is an excellent laptop for video editing. Not only is it extremely powerful, but it also has a reasonable price point, which makes it an appealing alternative (particularly given the current state of the cost of living). It can edit video with no problems at all and has a battery life that is pleasantly surprising for how long it can stay charged for.

Our one and only complaint is that the screen size of 13 inches might not be adequate for doing extensive work editing videos. It is essential to have a screen that is suitably large in order to do this creative activity, and it is probable that the lack of inches may frustrate you. On the other hand, if staying mobile is one of your top priorities, then this might not be as much of a concern for you.

2. MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020)

Although it may not be as powerful as more current releases within the MacBook Family (such as the M2 13-inch MacBook Pro, which can be seen above), the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020) was nonetheless intended to be used as a highly effective portable workstation. This portable laptop, with its well-optimized M1 CPU, is more than capable of editing 4K or even 8K film, in the event that the 14-inch MacBook Pro is still a little bit large for your requirements.

It is important to note that the standard M1 processor that is found inside of the 13-inch MacBook Pro is not as powerful as the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. However, unless you really need all that power, there is no sense in acquiring a model that is equipped with one. This results in the 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro being a very reasonable choice.

Not only is it extremely portable, but also, according to the results of our testing, the MacBook Pro 13-inch (M1, 2020) can operate on a single charge for more than 13 hours. This makes it one of the most impressive laptops in terms of battery life that is now available to purchase in UAE. You can work without the need to frantically keep an eye out for a free power outlet even if you do not need to carry it around to remote shooting sites.

3. Dell XPS 15 (2021)

The Dell XPS 15 (2021) provides a bargain that is analogous to the one we discussed in relation to both the 14-inch and 16-inch variants of the MacBook Pro. This is due to the fact that it possesses the majority of the same attributes as the bigger Dell XPS 17, but in a more portable design. 

This smaller offering is handier for people who will need to transport it about, which is perfect for video editors or students who will need to travel regularly. If you enjoyed the notion of what the 17-inch model can provide, this smaller offering is more convenient for those who will need to cart it around.

In addition to this, you have the option of customizing it to come with a powerful 11th-generation Intel processor and an OLED InfinityEdge display, which produces colors that are bright and blacks that are very clear. Although a separate GPU isn't always required for low-demand work, the only choice you have is between an Nvidia RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti graphics card. Because of this, the base model with integrated Intel UHD is also an interesting alternative for those who are working with a more limited budget.

4. Asus Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED

Another amazing and unusual product, the Asus Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED is ideally suited for use in artistic endeavors because of its unique display. The majority of laptops need you to connect up to an additional monitor; however, the ZenBook Duo comes with a second screen right beneath the primary one. This provides some more real estate for taskbars and other windows in editing applications, which may be quite useful.

When combined with the OLED display technology, you will get a laptop that is great for video editing since it will deliver deep black tones, in addition to a refresh rate of 120 hertz and coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut in its entirety. It is difficult to conceive why a person who is not creative or an editor would really purchase this laptop, which gives the impression that it was purposely built for a specific subset of individuals who will make use of its peculiar capabilities.

You don't need to worry about power either since this bad boy comes with the newest 12th-generation on Intel CPUs up to an ultra-powerful Core i9, in addition to lots of RAM and the choice of a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti GPU, which means that it can handle any video application that you require.

Its one and only major flaw is a short battery life in comparison to some of the other options on this list; however, for individuals who will be using an additional built-in display and who will remain in close proximity to a power outlet, this does not take away from how incredible this device truly is.

Price Range in UAE    AED 5,475.00 to AED 6,000.00

5. Dell XPS 13

Do not be fooled by its little size; the Dell XPS 13 is a very powerful laptop for use with video editing software, despite the fact that it is one of the most compact products in the product line manufactured by Dell. It is a joy to take about thanks to its modest size, which is especially helpful if you also need to bring heavier recording equipment; moreover, it comes with the option of a 4K monitor.

It is possible to configure the Dell XPS 13 in a wide variety of ways, just like you do with the bigger 15-inch and 17-inch XPS models. This means that the Dell XPS 13 may be as powerful as you want it to be, with the flagship model including an 11th-generation Intel Core i7 CPU and 32GB of RAM.

If you require more of an everyday computer that is capable of video editing, then it is preferable to have a device that strikes a mix between performance and portability. Our primary critique is that the pint-sized XPS 13 does not provide an option for a dedicated GPU, which limits you to integrated Intel graphics.
