If you have exactly £6,493.97 to spend and need 7 different laptops, boy is this the Prime Day post for you

The ASUS Zenbook 14 is a more conventional, Intel Core Ultra-powered Windows laptop, but a hell of a good one. I tested this one myself last year, and I loved the screen, the lightweight build and the fast CPU/NPU performance. Yes, it's not the fastest graphics processor around, but if you keep scrolling, you'll find some NVIDIA-powered machines to sate your GPU thirst.

Of course, we can't have a creative laptop round-up without Apple. Just like most of its predecessors, the M4 MacBook Air is eminently capable, extremely attractive, very portable and delightfully easy to use. If you need to deal with a lot of 3D processing, you'll need something more powerful, sure, but for almost anything else, this will more than do you for the next several years.

Our current choice as the best option for aspiring graphic designers on a budget is the HP Victus 15 laptop, which, despite its encroaching age, is still a capable and, more importantly, affordable option. And now, the option that comes with a 40-series NVIDIA graphics card on board, to help you cope with those 3D workflows, is a cool £379.01 off to bring that extra oomph into your life for under a grand. And that's just grand, isn't it? Sorry. (I'm not sorry.)

Well, if you're on a proper tight budget, most new graphics cards may be out of your range anyway, so what you need is something that does everything you need (but maybe not a lot more). In that case, the reliable Dell Inspiron 14 (5441) comes with a Snapdragon X Plus processor and 16GB of RAM to cover exactly those bases, and now a very tempting price tag of Chromebook-Plus-beating £529.

If you're happy with a 30-series card (and at this price, who wouldn't), the Lenovo LOQ 15 is a budget gaming laptop that will do well for most routine creative workflows too (we tested the 40-series variant here). The compromises made to reach this price point are found in the Full HD-only screen and the i5 Intel processor, but with 24GB of RAM and 3050 graphics, £599 is a price worth paying.

We can't do a creative laptop round-up without a 2-in-1, can we? More than a gimmick, a good 2-in-1 can double up as a great drawing tablet too, and that's what HP has done better than just about any laptop maker in recent years. The HP Envy x360 is powerful enough for all traditional laptop tasks, and the 2-in-1 function turns it into one of the best 14-inch tablets you'll find. And with the top-spec option almost £300 off, I can heartily recommend it.
