Another very important task for graphic designers is the presentation of their projects. Even though every laptop can easily be connected to a projector, the only ones considered really suitable for presentations are those convertible ones that can take a stand position.
The Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 2-in-1 13.3-inch laptop is a convertible laptop that has a screen which can turn at an angle of 360 degrees. It is a 2-in-1 laptop that can be used as a tablet or a laptop.

HP Pavilion 6th Gen Skylake with FHD IPS Touchscreen
The importance of audio quality cannot be overlooked by graphic designers while working on their projects. These graphic design jobs are focused on visual content as well as audio quality. With this in mind, graphic designers generally only use laptops that are strong enough to run their apps and produce quality sounds at the same time.
The powerful Core i7-6700HQ processor and touchscreen functionality of the HP Pavilion 15.6-inch laptop have guaranteed it a spot on this list. This is a lovely gadget for every graphic designer who produces animations and other media projects requiring high-quality graphics animation.
ASUS Zenbook UX303UB Graphic Design Laptop
Another important factor in graphic design is the resolution. Ever considered the number of panels in application packages like Adobe Photoshop, 3D Max and several other CAD software packages? When a screen has a low-resolution scale, it always looks cramped as it is unable to contain all the panels. Only a machine with a high-resolution display can guarantee adequate coverage for all the panels.
The fact that the ASUS Zenbook QHD 13.3-inch laptop display is powered by the latest NVidia graphics card, and that it was built with a 6th generation i7 Skylake processor with high-resolution QHD (3200×1800) touchscreen makes it the perfect choice for graphic designers. With these features, it not only offers the finest visual coverage but also adds sleekness to every motion graphic displayed on its screen as a result of its sophisticated graphics card.
