It's also powered by the M1 Pro and M1 Max Apple chip, the same as the 16-inch model, which means it offers a similar level of performance to the bigger laptop. Like the 16-inch model above, it offers an amazing mini-LED screen that supports 1,600 nits of peak brightness and the P3 wide colour gamut. The MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) was a new size from Apple, offering a decent bump in screen real estate over the older 13-inch MacBook Pro. See our Surface Laptop Studio review for full details. All in all, it's a fantastic showcase for Windows 11. It's also got an excellent keyboard, powerful specs (including cutting-edge integrated graphics from either Intel or NVIDIA, depending on the configuration you go for) and incredible battery life. That touch screen in particular will be of interest to many designers thanks to its stylus compatibility (although you have to buy the stylus separately). The screen canĪlso offer a zippy refresh rate of up to 120Hz.

Not only does it have a gorgeous versatile design, but it has an excellent PixelSense touchscreen that will make your work look its very best. Microsoft was long best known as a software company, but it's been putting out some great laptops, and this versatile two-in-one with a touch display is a fantastic option for graphic designers.

Apple may make most of the best laptops for graphic design, but its old rival Microsoft offers solid competition with the Surface Laptop Studio, which gives the MacBooks above a run for their money.
