Laptops for creatives are definitely necessary to pursue freelancing. For those planning to get into freelancing, this career can be done 100% virtual meaning having the right laptops for creatives is necessary for maximum performance.

Here are a few things to consider before buying yourself a laptop:

1. Function: First of all, what are you going to be using your laptop for? If you're into video and visual editing, you might want to get a laptop close to a gaming laptop since the video cards are already built for those kinds of functions. Gaming laptops are able to handle heavy graphics. For those that are into programming and other IT related but still creatively inclined work, you might want to invest on a laptop that carries heavier specs and can handle heavier data.

2. Size: Although not a lot of people pay attention to this, size does matter. It might be hard to maximize your creativity with a small screen. The positive thing about small laptops though is that they are portable. Pick the right size and decide which is more important portability, or more screen.

3. Price: Last but not least, you have to make sure you are getting exactly what you need for the price you are willing to pay.
