What is the best type of laptop to get for video editing?




Bri leo


I've edited on a Mac but I'm not willing to dish out the money for one right now.


Answer
These ASUS laptops can handle that for you. The first one has the weakest graphics. It is a good one tho and is a 15".

Brand buying advise

Always avoid refurbished units. They only come with a 90 day warranty and have a higher failure rate. The service contacts are normally just a one time replace contract.

You get what you pay for. Systems with high end parts with low prices are to be viewed with suspicion. They have to cut corners somewhere to get the price down. What cost you less today is going to cost you more tomorrow.

Apple makes a good quality laptop. The problem comes when it requires service or minor upgrades. It is near impossible to do anything with them. They even glue the battery and hard drive down so you can not change it. They solder the ram to the logic board so you can not increase it. They lock up most of the software so your stuck with what they approve.

Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. Lenovo will not allow people to read instruction on how to access the BIOS menu or to get info on their puters on their web site unless you connect to them thru Facebook. They do this so they can spy on their users. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them.

Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony should be avoided because of their heavy modification of Windows and the drivers. If you remove some of the bloat they install, you can cripple the system.

Acer, Gateway, and eMachines should be avoided period. Low end system that are driving the race to the bottom.

Dell once made a good system and fell from grace. They are now struggling to regain their place in the market. Customer service is one of many problems with this company.

Alienware are glorified Dells and are more name then product. Priced extremely high for what you get. They do perform but you can get the same for less by looking around, just not packaged to be eye candy to the gamers.

Samsung has a history of using cheap parts in critical areas. Capacitors has been one area Samsung has a known history of going cheap, causing units to fail early. For that reason I would avoid them.

ASUS and HP do not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They have excellent build quality. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it.

Ultrabooks are the higher end of Wintel laptops but they have some of the same concerns as Apple. They make it next to impossible to change any hardware in them. Service of them will have to be done by the manufacturers. With most of them, you can not change your own battery or hard drive. They are designed to catch your eye but they are not any more special then other laptops except for the fact that they are slim or thin. Your paying for it being thin and slim. For the money your going to spend on it you can buy a much better laptop with more power.

Chrome books are useless. They are designed by Google to make you dependent on Google. If you can not access the web then you can not do anything.

Hybrids are the worse of the worse. The flip or detachable touch screens are just a disaster waiting to happen.

Never buy an All In One. They are far worst then laptops of any kind to service and they have a higher failure rate.

Choose wisely.

Gaming, Video Editing and Engineering laptop?




Marshall


I'm going into college for Computer Engineering, and my old laptop's not gonna cut it anymore. Not that I can't upgrade it, but it's kinda broken. So, I need a new laptop that can do all the things I'll need out of it, and at the lowest price possible.

I want to be able to run Engineering software on my laptop, and I've been informed that most Computer Engineering programs are Windows only, so it must run Windows 7 (preferably Premium). I also want to start making Minecraft videos to upload to YouTube, so it also needs to be capable of video recording/editing and have good enough specs to handle Minecraft. Here's the system requirements for Minecraft, in case you need to know:
Recommended:
OS: Windows XP/Vista/7
OpenGL: 2.0
Processor: 2.5 MHz (Single Core)
RAM: 2 GB(XP), 3 GB(Vista/7)
Hard Drive: 256 MB Free
Video: 128MB RAM

I'd like to have at least a Core 2 Duo, i5 processor, 500-GB storage, a dedicated graphics card (minimum 128MB RAM) and 4-GB RAM laptop. Are there any laptops with specs at or above what I described for less than $800? If so, what are they?
...Unless you know of a Mac that runs Windows 7 Premium, no.



Answer
Go for a used Asus ROG or Lenovo Y570 core-i5 laptop.
