Best laptop for music producers

[selectstart]

What is the best laptop for music production? This might seem like a question lost to bias or personal opinion but I'm in the market for a new laptop to because my hard drive is running low on space. Post some suggestions and I will look at them and try to respond.

When looking for a laptop for music production, prioritize one with a powerful CPU (ideally an Apple M1/M2 or an Intel i7/i9 processor) to handle intensive audio processing. Laptops with 16GB RAM are the baseline, but 32GB+ is ideal for smoother multitasking, especially if you work with large projects or use resource-heavy plugins. Storage is key, so go for at least 512GB SSD, though 1TB+ is optimal for large sample libraries and audio files. For Mac, the MacBook Pro (14-inch or 16-inch with M2 Pro or Max) is popular among producers for its performance and efficiency. On the Windows side, options like the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 or Dell XPS 15 (with i7 or i9 CPUs) are also solid, offering powerful processors and ample customization options.
