God! Is it that good? The asus ZBP ux501vw in video editing

[Bardebay]

I am planing to buy a laptop for past few month already.and I never have a actual solution.

I have cheats few web and I work with premiere pro 2017 every day for my video work.i travel around to shoot video for people and I edit them on the go.
So I check whole bunch of websites and somehow many people actually said that the asus ZBP ux501vw is the best laptop for video editing.

So I am just wondering is this actually the best.no offence,but I am really just wondering not criticising or any thing.

For a month I will be out and with out internet so i wrote my last wish I want to ask all the experts and figure it out.

And what about Mac mini?i think my hand luggage can afford that,now is just the extra screen.

Any one has any ideas or any actual good laptop for heavy video editing and without freezing here and there.thank you,
My budget is 900-1500 USD.

Thank you.

This laptop certainly has everything neded for video editing: a fast CPU with 8 threads, 16GB of memory, and even a very fast PCI-e SSD 512GB. It even has a quite good GPU. Is it the best? Can't say for sure, but if anything it looks at least as being among the best. You will not be disappointed by the performance, that's for sure. The only thing I suppose will also be needed is external HDD for more storage.

Yes,I agree,but like which brand would you recommend also,which laptop,all that.because I don't want to buy a laptop and regret it.

And yes,the as usual this one is good.but I have heard also that apparently this one 4K screen is actually not 4K,and I think it will get hot fast.
And is it cud a compatible?

Judging by the specs and price, I'd go with this Asus. Regrets can happen with anything in life, even with best things, if you get unlucky. No guarantees for anything. But this one seems like the best for the job, it is certainly built with mobile video editing in mind.

It does support CUDA, and screen is definitely 4K.

All right,thanks

Does this computer have any rivals?i want to have a look.

It does support CUDA, and screen is definitely 4K.

The screen is PenTile (RG/BW) not-true-4K, unfortunately. The RGB in each pixel is replaced with either only RG or only BW. This means you get all the risk for content scaling issues with 4K, without the full sharpness of 4K to "make up for it". ASUS does this on all their current high-res offerings, and it's commonly regarded to be deceptive marketing. See the sidebar on http/reddit.com/r/SuggestALaptop for more info on this, and see this review showing the subpixel matrix (alongside a poor description of it). There are a few isolated reports from non-USA countries of this panel being true 4K, however I don't think it is likely that you'll receive a true-4K panel if you went and purchased one.

If you're in it for the 4K, I would choose one of the ones listed in this post: https/www.reddit.com/r/videography/comments/657o1r/can_you_beat_this_juiced_up_laptop_asus_zenbook/dg86fn9/
