Q. I recently bought a 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display and had it upgraded to 2.8 GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, with TurboBoost up to 3.8GHz and 768 GB of flash storage. I was wondering how well would it work with massive amounts of photo, video, and music editing along with capability to play intense game with hardcore graphics also to hold a lot of storage of constant 10 to 20 minute long videos added a day, can it do all of this without crashing constantly but rarities are accepted and if storage is the only true problem I am willing to get an external storage device. I am posting this because I am a starting photographer, somewhat a director, a student, and overall entertainer. I also am asking because even though when I did the research it all seemed to check out I was wondering if any experts or people with personal experience could shine some light upon this because I've had many laptops that cant seem to handle extensive editing of all kinds from programs like those created by Adobe, and cant handle the storage for the videos and also crash during downloads of high quality games or during the actual gameplay. I'd like to hear many people's opinions and am open to suggestions. Thank you.

Files in storage do not cause system crashes. To store massive amounts of data, you will need some external drives. My Mac tower had four internal drives and four external drives. I don't use any of my Mac notebooks for video editing, except a bit of touch up on location. I can't deal with intense editing on a tiny 15" screen.
Notebook computers don't play games at highest level all day without some over-heating.... unless the notebook is almost 2 inches thick (Alienware) to allow large fans and air space inside for cooling.
If you use several high-RAM apps simultaneously, such as Final Cut Pro, Photoshop and Handbrake, the system will use scratch space / virtual memory, and that will cause slow operation, but not necessarily a crash.
Notebook computers are designed for multi-tasking on the go, but in recent years, a trend has skyrocketed for "bolting down" a notebook, and using it as if it were a desktop. It would make much more sense for these people to buy a desktop, like the Mac Pro http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/ or an all-in-one, like the iMac.

Best Laptop for Video Editing?
Q. So I have been saving up money for a new laptop for awhile now and am looking to invest it in the best possible laptop for primarily video editing. Currently my laptop has plenty of memory and ram but the processor is only at 1.5 GHz and is an HP Laptop. I think that there's intel processor's with a 3.6 Ghz and wondering if I should try for something like that? Or if there is a specific laptop or even just a laptop that has the compatibility to upgrade to a higher processor like that it would be great.
The use would involve heavy RAW filed photo and video editing along with special effects design and music editing.
Thank you.

Answer
You need something with a good processor, and a ***tload of RAM.
Look for:
i7-3610QM, i7-3630QM, i7-3840QM
16GB+ RAM
Graphics card doesn't matter.
256GB+ Solid State Drive
You didn't list your budget, but this build could easily cost upwards of $1500 or more.
I rarely say this on YAnswers, but a desktop is a more practical solution for heavy video editing if you want it done fast.
Disregard that if you really want a laptop.
