What's the best laptop for Cricut? Well, it's one with at least 8GB of RAM, a fast processor to handle the software's advanced features, and a good-quality display so you can clearly see your designs come to life. 

We’re big Cricut enthusiasts ourselves, with hands-on experience using most of the brand’s machines across a variety of laptops. So we've drawn up this guide to help you make the right choice. Right now, our top recommendation is the Asus Vivobook Pro 15 OLED.

The entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro is cheaper than in the past, still with the benefits of a sleek chassis and a fabulous screen. It's still more than you need for Cricut, but it's a solid long term investment. The starting point is $1,599 / £1,699, but I've seen discounts of up to $150.

Asus Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED

This is a niche machine and way more than you need for Cricut software, but the second display can be handy for things like displaying customer orders and design progress. The price is surprisingly reasonable, starting at $1,599 / £1,999 with the ASUS Pen 2.0 included.
