Selecting the right laptop is a lot like trying to pick the right major. Both can be challenging tasks where choosing wrongly costs countless hours. But pick the right one, and graduation is just around the corner.
The tips below can help the next generation of artists select the ideal NVIDIA Studio laptop to maximize performance for the critical workload demands of their unique creative fields - all within budget.
Students face a wide range of creative fields - including 3D animation, video, graphic design and photography - that require differing levels of performance and raise a gauntlet of questions: What laptop specs are needed for specific workflows? How will this laptop perform for the most challenging projects? How can one future-proof their digital canvas?
Studio laptops are the perfect back-to-school tool, featuring NVIDIA RTX GPUs dedicated to accelerating 3D, video and AI features - especially 3D rendering and video editing. The most popular creative apps have been optimized to run on RTX GPUs for faster performance. These purpose-built laptops feature vivid, color-accurate displays and blazing-fast memory and storage to boost creative workflows.
An AI for Animation 3D students create new worlds from scratch - shaping 3D objects and scenes with modeling tools, bringing characters to life with animation features, and creating realistic volumetric effects such as fire and smoke.
Animators routinely work on computationally intensive projects, often across multiple creative apps at once. The right GPU is critical for 3D workflows. Select a less powerful system, and artists will be hustling to wait.
MSI Creator z16 NVIDIA Studio laptop. Laptops equipped with a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU or higher - including the MSI Creator z16, available at Best Buy - tackle demanding 3D projects in real time. These high-performance graphics cards prevent slowdowns, even while working on large projects.
Razer Blade 15 NVIDIA Studio laptop. Students looking for an added boost can jump to a system with a GeForce RTX 3080 or 3080 Ti GPU and up to 16 gigabytes of graphics memory for extra-demanding, extra-large models. Laptops like the Razer Blade 15 with an RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU, available on Razer.com, provide incredible performance that takes 3D from concept to completion faster.
The benefits of a Studio laptop can be felt in the combination of hardware and software. All essential 3D apps - Adobe Substance 3D, Autodesk Maya, Chaos V-Ray, Unreal Engine and more - feature RTX-accelerated benefits. Real-time ray tracing, AI denoising in the viewport and countless other features empower interactive 3D modeling and animations without the painstaking wait for renders.
Performance is measured using various systems and will vary by model. Blender 3.1 OpenData benchmark, with the OptiX and Metal render engines (respectively). RTX GPUs exclusively power NVIDIA Omniverse, a ground-breaking platform that interconnects existing 3D workflows. Replacing linear pipelines with live-sync creation, artists can create like never before, at unprecedented speeds. Best of all, it's a free download, available on all Studio laptops.
Reel-ey Fast Film Projects Gone are the endless days spent in dingy university editing bays. Future filmmakers can grasp the same power from NVIDIA GPUs that every visual effects Oscar nominee in the last 14 years has used, in portable form.
Tasked with color grading, editing 8K raw footage, adding visual and motion effects, ordering and fine-tuning content, film students will often need to experiment with styles and techniques.
Studio laptops use NVIDIA technologies - like the NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) for faster encoding and Tensor Cores for time-saving AI features - to rapidly accelerate video work, giving students the necessary time to hone their craft.
These laptops also feature best-in-class displays with 100% sRGB that's a perfect match for what most people will see, or 95% DCI-P3 for advanced editing to reach a wider range of colors on UHD and HDR monitors. Most models offer factory calibration and HDR options as well.
Dell XPS 15 NVIDIA Studio laptop. Students editing up to 4K footage can pick up from Dell.com the Dell XPS 15 with a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU. Or, they can make the leap to the Dell XPS 17 with a GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU and larger screen.
ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo NVIDIA Studio laptop. The proper GPU depends on a project's needs. Film students will want the power of either a GeForce RTX 3060 or 3070 Laptop GPU to ensure they can comfortably work with up to 6K footage. The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582 is available from Amazon, configured with an RTX 3060, RTX 3070 or RTX 3080 Laptop GPU. The handy ScreenPad Plus 14-inch 4K matte touch screen, the Duo's secondary display, is perfect for displaying video timelines.
For video work that's in 8K RAW, or heavy on visual effects, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is highly recommended. This GPU features 16 gigabytes of dedicated VRAM, like the ones recommended for 3D animation, ensuring smooth production.
Performance is measured using various systems and will vary by model. Adobe Premiere Pro export test measured through Adobe Media Encoder 14.3.2 using various 4K sequences with a combination of typical effects. RTX GPUs feature a hardware-based encoder and decoder: NVENC and NVDEC. Offloading these compute-intensive tasks from the CPU enables industry-leading render speeds, plus smooth playback and scrubbing of high-res video. Color-correction tools in Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve are GPU accelerated, as well as 30 visual and motion features in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Students also have access to time-saving AI features like DaVinci Resolve's Face Recognition for automatically tagging clips and Speedwarp to produce stunning slow motion. AI also improves productio
