Welcome to our top five Intel-based computers for Content creators at CES
2016 first up is the Lenovo ThinkPad P40
yoga this is designed for serious content creation on the go as it's got a
Quadro m500m GPU they collaborated with
waycom on the included pen which can detect
2,48 separate levels of pressure and it
features a 1440p IPS display that includes tactile feedback to feel more
like writing on real paper it comes with a Skylake core i7 and up to 512 gigs of
SSD storage and is expected to be available in q1 of 2016 for
$33.99 the MSI Vortex is next have you
ever found yourself wanting a workstation that looks kind of like a
Mac Pro and is super powerful like a Mac Pro but isn't a Mac well here it is the
Windows-based cylinder from MSI it
features a Skylake core 7 desktop processor two desktop GTX 980s and can
hold two NVMe m.2 drives now although
there isn't a xon processor or a Quadro or firepro graphics card that you might
find in a more traditional content creation workstation it's very powerful
for the size and from our experience programs like Adobe Creative Cloud make
more use of Cuda than they necessarily do of the quadro features anyway it's
got plenty of con connectivity four USB 3.1 two mini DPS two USB 3.1 type c's
with Thunderbolt and it's very quiet as well with MSI quoting low 30 DB under
load the high-end version will run about $4,000 though a less extreme
configuration will go for about half of that it's expected to be available later
this year our third choice if you were thinking what do you mean no quadros no
xeons well you'll be happy here are the
Lenovo p50 and p70 mobile workstations
if you are looking for the ultimate editing or rendering rig that you can
take with you these are what you want they've got 4K displays with panone
color correction as well as Thunderbolt 3 in case you know one 14k screen just
isn't enough for you and the difference between the p50 and the p70 is the size
of the screen so you can either get a 15.6 in or a 17in you also get three
Drive Bays with the p 50 and four with the p70 so you have plenty of room for
storing video or 3D models the p50 starts at $1,600 and the p70 at 2,000
these ones are available now next up is
the HP Elite book folio it looks a heck
of a lot like a Macbook but I assure you it is a Windows PC and although this is
not the most powerful thing out there and not strictly speaking a you know
content creation computer from a video editing perspective it's got a an Intel
Core M instead of like an i7 it also has
some nice features for serious users who
create content let's say for example by writing it or by generating business
proposals it's got a great sound system that HP says they optimized with bang
and Olson for those oh so important business Skype calls it's got a 180°
hinge allowing it to fold flat on a table for collaboration and it also o
features Thunderbolt 3 so it connect to more displays easily and comes with
either a 4K or 1080p display option
they're quoting 10 hours of battery life on the 1080p model without quoting
anything for the 4K making it great for quote unquote creators who are writing
on the go it starts at $9.99 and is expected to be available in March our
final content creator PC the p37x V5 or
p37 wv5 is actually class ified by its
manufacturer Gigabyte as a gaming laptop
but personally I'm seeing the content creator side of this as well depending
on which of the models you opt for you'll get a 980m or GTX 970m graphics
card you will get a Core i76700 HQ and
you will get either a 4K Ultra HD IPS display or a 1080p IPS display but where
this one gets interesting to the content creators is the performance of the
aforementioned display they are quoting 100% Adobe RGB coverage making this
awesome for working with photo or video editing in Adobe it features m.2 PCIe
SSD storage ddr4 memory USB 3.1 type-c
and the usual gaming uh Creature
Comforts like a backlit keyboard and programmable macro Keys also something
that's just as good for Content creation as it is for gaming just ask Taran who
keeps multiple keyboards on his desk at
the office so thank you for checking out our top five Intel-based content
