As a content creator, having the right editing setup can make or break your workflow. In this video, I break down why I finally decided to build my own custom video editing PC after years of using a Dell Alienware M15 and a MacBook Pro M1.

I’ll share the specific reasons this switch improved my video editing process, the limitations I faced with laptops, and why a desktop build might be the best option for creators who value speed, performance, and future-proofing their setup.
