best mac laptop for hd video editing image

Glen R

im looking to buy an apple laptop with final cut pro mostly to use for video editing. what would be the best to use? would a Macbook laptop which includes 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB memory, Combo drive and 120GB hard drive be good anough? (HD footage also)

Answer
Yes, good enough, but I really think you are better getting a Macbook Pro. The graphics card is much better and you really need speed (not to mention the largest hard drive) for video editing.

If your budget allows, skip the macbook and get the macbook pro.

Can someone offer insight on a good laptop?

The Disint

I'm looking to buy a new laptop and I haven't used anything but Mac for over three years. I know Toshiba makes a decent laptop but what about these Samsung laptops? What are the top PC brands for laptops these days? I do a lot of video editing (hobby) so I need at least 6GB Memory to handle HD video. I have a 2TB external Hard Drive so the hard drive space on the computer doesn't need to be enormous. Any suggestions and links?
Not looking to spend more than like $800 for a laptop.

Answer
I found some and you can choose any one from these. I would recommend getting you HP Pavilion DV8 but I guess HP aren't making laptops anymore(rumor). Toshiba laptops are okay but the model of most of those looks pale and almost same. I don't have any experience with Samsung Laptop so I have no idea about it. However my friend has some Samsung Netbook and it is working flawless since a year. Asus laptops are #1 selling on most of the countries according to the internet and provided data from the sellers. They also make awesome ones. My wife has Asus Republic Of Gamers laptop and it can handle any games and applications along with multitasking without any lag.
