The NVME drive can be put in an enclosure on an older machine to vastly improve performance. As it can be setup to be a boot drive. I'm told to avoid the samsung and stick with western digital. This is for intel macs for those still running those.
Your breakdown of laptop essentials for motion design is incredibly helpful! Your clear explanations make the tech side less intimidating. Now, could you share your thoughts on how upcoming hardware trends might shape the landscape for motion designers in the next few years?
Great question @dotpenji. Upcoming hardware trends will likely cater to the increasing demands of motion designers for better performance, efficiency, and innovation.
I'm glad you found the breakdown of laptop necessities for motion design useful! The goal is always to make technical topics less intimidating through clear explanations. Kudos @MotionXP!
One of the easiest ways to stay updated with design trends is to follow some of the most popular and reputable design blogs and newsletters. These sources will provide you with inspiration, insights, tips, and resources to keep your skills fresh and relevant. Btw, I've been reading your blog @dotpenji! Great work for the both of you!
1. What about portable option like the ASUS G14? 2. In such laptops you can only upgrade x1 RAM stick out of the 2. So, will it F-up dual channel RAM if you install, say a 32GB stick alongside an 8GM or 16GB soldered RAM stick?
I knew this would come up so I checked the performance benchmarks for the M2 chips on puget systems website and that did not seem to be the case...happy to be proved wrong though 😅
@xDave if you dont have a desk, and live in a room where theres no space for a pc case, then ok. theres literally no other reason to get a laptop unless you need to travel a lot. If we are talking windows laptops, they have a terrible battery life, and if you really want the peak performance it can offer, you have to keep it plugged in anyways 🙈
I use a PC for motion and I am soon getting a laptop for uni. This video is very helpful, thank you!

Really Well Explained, Thanks, Just Subscribed to your channel
If I only ever received this one comment on this video, I would be happy! Thank you!

Definitely, I agree wholeheartedly! @MotionXP your appreciation for the breakdown of laptop essentials for motion design is truly motivating.
The fact that gadget companies are adapting to meet the needs of motion designers who constantly push limitations is actually amazing.
Great content, just what I need
Good to hear it!
wow thanks for sharing 🎉
You are welcome!
would be interested in a video on how to build a motion design pc for those who want to escape doing motion design on a laptop,great vid thi
Thanks for showing interst in that topic! I would love to make a video like that at some point...I'll addd it to my list!

The ASUS G14 is defintely a good option. From what I can tell you can indeed add a 32GB stick alongside the 8/16gb to get to a total of 40/48gb
Mac air
I feel like it is time to start a debate between PC and Mac in the comments...
gogo gadget macbook m2 max
I think its defintely time to start a mac vs pc debate in the comments! 😉
In High End Laptop Range Macbooks are clear winner

pls dont buy a laptop for motion graphics unless you reaaaaally have to. you will get much more performance from a desktop with the same budget
A desktop will always be better but it's just not practical for some people

Agreed! I think this is a good point to make!
