The proc is too slow for my tastes. The memory is a bit slow, too. Probably, the bus is on the low end. You should have a second HDD to serve as a scratch disk, and preferably, you should be using a striped RAID.

Generally speaking, video editing is very hard on the proc, southbridge and other parts; you're going to have one hot laptop on your hands. And it's not going to be very quick.

Ideally, quad-core Xeon at 3.5+ GHz, DDR3-2000 RAM and SATA RAID 0 on twin 500GBs running 10,000 RPM

Good laptop for video and image editing?

I am learning video(sony vegas 8) and image(photoshop cs4) editing.
My laptop(HP dv2810us) is kinda slow for running that software...it works,but a lot of glitches,so I am looking into upgrading..What is the best option for me?...my research shows,that hp dv7-2270us is not bad,it costs $950 and has good graphics card (ATI Mobility Radeon⢠HD 4650 (M96) with up to 2815MB total available graphics memory with 1024MB dedicated)...
So what do you think?

P.S.I am not switching to Apple!
