Recommend 17 inch laptop for multimedia?

z z z z

I actually wanted to buy MSI GS70 Stealth as it is very light weight and the screen is 17 inch.

However the gpu differ from MSI workstation category. The workstation carries the Nvidia Quadro. The GS70 carries the 765m.

Would the GS70 able to perform comparable to the Nvidia quadro? Sorry I am not good in specification.

Is the 1920x1080 res for GS70 good for graphic editing? Overall I feel the Macbook pro has the best resolution but the price is way costly.

I like the GS70 for its design - keyboard, sleek and slim. It is also a good gaming laptop I assume, since it is a gaming laptop.

Is there other recommendation that would do great for graphic editing? What I mean is good color contrast, brightness etc.

The Macbook pro is way too costly for me...

Let me list again the thing I would do with the laptop...
-Watch Video
-Graphic Editing (Want good color contrast and brightness)
-Capable of semi-high setting for gaming
-Able perform well with multi programs open

Thus overall, I want to used it as my long term primary "PC".

Answer
I recommend Dell Inspiron 17 i17RM-2419 SLV for that. It has large 17.3 inch screen and i5 processor, you can also play games which are not demanding but overall performance is good. You can see its details in this review:

Its DELL so its solid and reliable, screen is bright and clear too. You are going to watch movies so it has an Optical drive for that if you use DVD. Hope this answer help.

Are 17 inch laptops to big to carry around?

Mike G

The laptop I want is 17 inch, is that to big for a college student?

Answer
Depends on what you're using it for. If its just for writing papers and things and carrying around in class, I would go for a smaller size, such as a 13' macbook. If you're going to use it for designing, video editing, or going to spend extensive amounts of time on the computer, I'd go with the 17' macbook pro.
Hope it all goes well!

What is the best laptop to get/buy to use for video editing from a camcorder?

17 inch laptop for video editing image

peach4peac

I am trying to find the best laptop to use for when I want to edit film from my camcorder. I am debating between a Mac book Pro, an Asus K55VD DS71 15.6" or an Asus N76VZ-DS71 17.3" Notebook. I also want to put all of my music on to it and I have a lot of music. Would any of these laptops be good for doing both of these things or is there something else that is better? Thanks!

Answer
I always prefer a pc over a mac but since your main focus is editing media, I would suggest a macbook pro. I can't think of a single, rational person who would pick Windows software over Apple software when it comes to things like media, photo/video editing. The only time the mac is never an option is for basic school work, research and internet browsing.

If 90% of your laptop needs are for video editing, then grab your macbook pro here...if not. stick with pc.

What is the difference between a netbook/notebook and a laptop, and which one should I get?

Kristen H

I would like a portable, small laptop or notebook/net-book. I don't know what the difference is, or which one I should buy. I need it to store word documents for school, to get on the internet, and possibly watch dvds. What should I do?

Answer
First, let us start differentiating them with regards to their physical size. Normally, a laptopâs dimensions would vary from 10x8 inches (13â display) to 15x11inches (17â display) and up. Its thickness would range from 0.7-1.5 inches. It would weigh 3 to 12 pounds (1.4 to 5.4 kg) depending on its brand and model. Older models usually weigh heavier and possess wider dimensions. Netbooks, on the other hand have dimensions that would range below 5 inches to 13 inches. It is lighter compared to laptops because it usually weighs 2 to 3 pounds. For mobilityâs sake, netbooks got the score.

In terms of features, Netbooks have built in WiFi, Ethernet, USB ports and slots dedicated for memory cards. However, it does not have a CD drive or DVD drive. This is the reason why itâs relatively smaller and lighter compared to laptops. All of its peripheral devices are external and can only be connected via the USB port. Laptops, on the other hand have all of its peripheral devices intact. Newer versions of laptops also possess built in WiFi, USB ports, memory card slots, Ethernet, Bluetooth SD Card connectivity, built in webcam plus a lot more of features that a conventional netbook canât support.

Next in line, is with regards to its computing power. Netbooks available today, have processor speed that would range from 0.4 to 1.6 GHz and a storage size that would vary from 4 to 160 GB. Its RAM has a capability to process 0.5 to 1.5 GB of information depending on its model type. While laptops, have a processing speed of 1.6-2.4 GHz and a massive storage size which would vary from 20-250 GB of hard drive. Its RAM would range from 1 to 4 GB depending on the model. Obviously, laptops are capable to handle heavy applications such as video editing and hard core gaming. Netbooks on the other hand is ideal for accessing web applications, cloud computing, and Word processing applications.

In practice, there is no clear definition as to what are the price boundaries of these two products. This is due to the computer companiesâ freedom to state the prices of their products. However in standards, the ideal price of netbooks would range from $200
up to $500. Anything above $500 should be identified as a laptop.

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.
