The Best Thin and Light Laptops for 2023

Many creatives are on the go quite a lot, and as such, they want to be able to work whenever and wherever they are with enough power to tackle heavy photo and video tasks but not a lot of bulk. If you are looking for such a laptop, check out this great video comparison that will show you three of the best options in 2023. 

Coming to you from Matthew Moniz, this fantastic video takes a look at three of the best portable but powerful laptops for creatives, including the LG 16" gramASUS 14.5" Zenbook Pro 14 OLED, and the Lenovo Yoga 7i. No doubt, all three of these are excellent computers, but I would also add the M2 MacBook Air. I have had mine for about a year now, and I am a huge fan of its form factor and performance. Even without a cooling fan (which makes it totally silent, a nice plus), it has always been able to handle even the most complicated Photoshop and related tasks I have thrown at it. Couple that with all-day battery life and a very portable footprint, and it has become essentially my constant companion. If you are a Mac user, it is an easy recommendation. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Moniz.

And where's the Dell XPS13? For years it was deemed as the best lightweight workhorse.
