[Ideal for side jobs] Elements necessary for creators and designers' PCs and how to select them | Mynavi News Mynavi News Mynavi
I want a computer suitable for web design production and video editing, but I'm wondering which one to choose ... I think there are many creators like that. A personal computer is an important business tool for creators. The quality of the work greatly affects the work efficiency and results.
Therefore, this time, Mynavi News conducted a questionnaire survey. We asked 416 people who are engaged in creative jobs such as web designers and video creators about the criteria for choosing a personal computer, their satisfaction, and the episode "I failed because of this!". Based on your experiences, think about "choosing a satisfying computer".
"PC for creators" that supports success
The so-called "PC for creators" responds to such creative usage, such as daily use of Illustrator and Premiere Pro, frequent exchange of large-capacity image files, and use of video materials and 3DCG.
Recently, personal computers for creators have appeared one after another. The background to this is that the range of activities of creators is expanding.
Part 1Increasing web content
In recent years, the number of web media has increased, and Internet advertising has made remarkable progress, resulting in a dramatic increase in web content. If we can make better quality production in a short period of time by utilizing a personal computer with high operability, we can expect further success as a creator.
Part 2Video content is popular due to Korona-ka
Due to the influence of "nesting" caused by Korona-ka, the use of online videos has increased significantly. Demand for video content is expected to continue to grow. Video editing technology is advancing day by day. By utilizing a personal computer equipped with the latest technology, it will be possible to edit videos that meet the needs of users more and more.
Part 3There is also the option of "side business"
With the completion of production work at home and the increase in convenient free software, more and more people are working on creator work as a side business. Choosing a computer is very important for working efficiently in a limited amount of time. Moreover, it can be said that it is important to keep the budget as low as possible.
About 80% are satisfied with the current PC, but the remaining 20% are ...
By the way, are all the people who work on the front lines as creators satisfied with the current personal computer? We asked 316 people who said, "I chose my own personal computer for work."
From the results of the questionnaire, it can be seen that about 80% are satisfied. On the other hand, it turns out that nearly 20% of people have some kind of dissatisfaction.
What do you like about your computer if you are happy with it? When asked why they thought "I'm glad I chose it," the most common answer was "I can work smoothly without feeling stress."
Most creators do so-called "heavy work". It can be said that the specifications are important points. Another thing that stood out was the opinion that it was "easy to carry and convenient."
Many people think of desktops when they think of personal computers for creators. However, with the spread of remote work, laptop computers are also a powerful option.
If you have a laptop computer, you can carry it around, and the place where you open the screen becomes the workspace. It is easy to use even for wo-cations, and you can quickly show your portfolio at meetings. It is convenient to be able to use it like that.
"Episode that failed in choosing a computer" that the creator felt
So what is the reason for those who feel that they have failed in choosing a computer? We received the following opinions.
If the specifications are not sufficient, the work will not proceed smoothly. It's frustrating and, above all, a waste of time.
The important point, the first place is "graphic board"!
If a creator chooses a personal computer, what should be emphasized? When I asked based on my experience, I got the following answer.
If you've found a great #domain, but it's already registered, then you'll want to reach out to the owner to see if… https://t.co/h7H5cP1Ygh

"Graphic board", "CPU" and "memory" are lined up in the top 3 elements that should be emphasized. Let's try them one by one.
Part 1
Graphic board
The graphics board (GPU) is a part that specializes in image processing and is also called graphics.
Without a graphic board, heavy-duty image processing and normal arithmetic processing would be performed by the CPU or chipset (on-board graphics). Then, when editing a large-capacity image / video file, the operation and operation become dull, and symptoms such as jerky, solidified, etc. occur. It takes a long time to process and may cause work to be delayed.
Therefore, if you want to edit quickly, it is essential to have a "graphic board installed" that specializes in heavy-duty image processing.
Part 2CPU
The CPU is the part that is in charge of the overall operation of the personal computer. So to speak, it corresponds to the "brain" of a personal computer. Therefore, the higher the CPU performance, the more stable the operation. Processing time will be shortened, leading to improved work efficiency.
Creators' work tends to be sluggish because they handle large files such as editing images and videos. To increase the processing speed, select "Core i7" or higher as a guide.
Part 3memory
Memory is a part for temporarily recording the contents of work. It's like a "desk". A large desk makes it easy to put a lot of things on it, and just as you can do various tasks at the same time, the larger the memory, the faster the work.
Creators often launch and work with multiple software such as Illustrator, Photoshop, and chat tools. Considering work efficiency, it is recommended to use "16GB" or more of memory as a guide.
What are the essential elements for a personal computer for creators?
Let's review the points that we have seen from the results of the questionnaire. The essential elements for a personal computer for creators are
Three of.
The "DAIV 5P" and "DAIV 4N" of the mouse computer "DAIV" series are recommended as computers that meet these conditions.
"DAIV" is a brand specializing in creative work. It features high specs that make production and editing easy. There is a wide range of customization, and you can choose according to your budget and work content.

The creators also commented, "The specs are pretty good and it's portable," "It's easy to use for everyday use," and "I'm satisfied with this price with a graphic board. It's light and made in Japan." It's a light one, so it looks good as an introductory machine when using it as a side business.

Peace of mind in case of emergency!Full support system
It is no exaggeration to say that it is directly linked to the results of work, choosing a personal computer for creators. I would like to make a decision by carefully considering the budget and the required performance.
And another element that should not be forgotten is the "support system". If there is something you don't understand, or if something goes wrong, your work may stop and you may end up in a serious situation.
In fact, even in the questionnaire, in response to the question "Why was it good to choose that computer?" Opinions were raised.
In that respect, mouse computers are safe.
* Average time from receiving the product to completing the repair and shipping. Depending on the situation, it may exceed 72 hours.
