A fairly-known tech YouTuber for video editing tech, Ben G Kaiser with more than 63,8 thousand subscribers to this day, made his best video editing laptop recommendations of 2021. He made a list of more than the 30 best video editing laptops of 2021. What I really like about this list is that he looks at every price range. He selected about 5 laptops per price range. These ranges are from entry-level 1080p to high-end 4k editing laptops.
