Best Laptops For Creatives 2023

So fast for the price, great for creatives and gamers.

You can always count on Apple for reliable machines for creatives to edit with.

This backpack is the best I bought in 2023,

I always get the plan for my laptops. Of course you just never know.

Paperlike is talked about a lot in the “creatives” community already so here’s my take as a practicing lawyer who does something a little different with the iPad. If you got that iPad for work, to mark up documents and really just try to replace that laptop the firm gave you with something more 21st century, just get this. Just do it. I know, the trouble with these screen protectors was always that you would love the matte, oil-free feel of the surface but there would be too much “noise” to be reading documents for long periods of time. This isn’t perfect but you get used to it very quickly and it’s comfortable enough that I definitely use my money’s worth on the iPad now. I’m sure the Paperlike 3 will be even better but, for now, I think this is as impressive as it gets. If you love that feel of pencil gliding on paper, you’ll love this. And seriously, it gets overlooked but not having to deal with the screen getting covered in oils all the time is incredibly liberating.

The culmination of many desired features for both Photographers and hybrid creatives. While the step from the Mark II to the Mark III left a little to be desired, the step from the Mark III to Mark IV is quite pronounced. This is an incredible camera to put it mildly.

I needed something quick and inexpensive that would allow press/media or other creatives to plug into the house sound without plugging into our main mixing console during a live stream I was filming/producing! Everyone was able to plugin their camera's and field recorders and pick up the event quality sound without an issue! Worked perfect out of the box, pretty simple to set up and run without being an expert sound person! I am super impressed, I am looking at buying a full system for larger events.

The only thing it can’t do is wash your dishes. In all honesty, the Stream Deck XL was built for the creatives who need all the shortcuts to keep the stream going without a hitch. I’m actively using mine on and offline for a myriad of reasons. Be it scene switching, muting my mic and promoting my social network profiles on stream, or during my editing for Photoshop, After Effects and more. There’s so much to do with the Stream Deck and it’s pretty much nothing this device can’t handle. Except your dishes. You’re on your own. Get one and level up your battle station.

I reordered this and I was so happy with the experience it provided for me and it was enjoyable to draw on. I love this and high recommend it to other artists and creatives because it feels like a drawing tablet. But keep in mind it touch scratch pretty easily for so keep it clean!

I bought one in 2022 and liked it enough to buy another in 2023
