For video/movie editing,which laptop is the best?

Pumpkin

Acer,Mac,Dell,or Vaio(or any other)
is the most suitable and optimized for video editting??

Answer
Mac Book Pro. I'm a PC user, and at work, all video, audio (everything audio is best, too bad for me!), and art production is done on Apple. I've heard that because the Apple name was used for computers, there had to be a rule that it was cutting edge for musical production (since the Beatles' label was Apple). Might be a rumor, but.... Everyone makes fun of me because I still use a PC, and my laptop is a HP. The Mac Book Pro 13 inch screen was voted number 3 best laptop in the Consumer Reports June 2011 issue (the Mac Book Air was number one, the Toshiba Protege was number 2), and performance was outstanding. Granted, the thing that I like about PC is the amount of available software, and the options. Macs give you less options, and a lot less software, but some people like it that way. If you decide to go with PC, there are good programs that can handle video editting, but if you look at most studios, it's done with Macs. Good luck!

New laptop recommendation! (Or Desktop?)?

C

Basically what I'm looking for is a laptop that (if possible?) is no more than $1000, has lots of ram.. Minimum 8 gigs. (8 gigs of ram is really good right?) and lots of space.. 1 TB minimum would be amazing.

What I'm looking to do on it, is for it to be very very fast... basic video editing and music making. Very basic. Kinda like Apple's Garageband & Imovie. I'm also looking to be able to play some computer games like the Sims on my downtime or maybe even once in awhile get an emulator or like play Steam games or something.

I got a Macbook Pro in April 2011, and by now it's pretty much already crapped out. I guess that's the way it is with technology now, it doesn't last very long anymore with new devices and updates etc but I want it to last long as possible and be worthwhile. My macbook pro though at the time couldn't even play games well (as i'm sure everyone knows)

So yeah, a laptop that can do all that..

I saw this one:

But not sure if it's actually that great.. Also for what I'm looking for does 8 gigs of ram sound okay?

PS: Someone suggested I might as well get a desktop.. Not sure though.

Thank you!

Answer
This is what you are looking for.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834313582

The i7 4700QM will be very fast and good for music editing and video editing and good for games
8gbs of ram which is what you wanted
1TB hard drive which is also what you want
a 745m graphic card for games

And it has an amazing price of 799$

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231455

This one will do just as good for 650$
a weaker processor and graphic card but since your only playing games like sims its all you need

But if you plan to play Battlefield 4 and those type of games

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834313584

This will do better at 1049$

Will Windows Movie Maker 2011 still let me work on an old project?

the best laptop for video editing 2011 image

f0reverama

So i'm already making a movie on Windows Live Movie Maker on a Windows 7 Laptop.
If i download Windows Live Movie Maker 2011, will i still be able to work on the same video in the 2011 version? Thanks :)

Answer
Yes, version 2011 will open projects made with WLMM version 2010. There might be a problem re-opening the 2011 edited project in 2010 again because, at least for earlier versions of Movie Maker, there is no backward compatibility.

Looking for a good laptop for college?

Echo in th

I'm going to university in a few months and planning on purchasing a new laptop. Ive owned my ASUS laptop since 2011. Ive had to replace the keyboard (my bad!), buy a new charger because the original wouldn't work anymore and the actual place to insert the charger is busted so the charger keeps popping out. It turns off on me without warning and its so slooooooowww right now. Oh yeah, and my battery died so i have to keep it plugged in whenever i use it -.- Right now, i only use my laptop to write essays, make an occasional video for a class, and the internet.



I'm looking for a laptop that has a
-long battery life
-light in weight
-portable
-a lot of memory
-something that will last me for my 8 years of schooling

Overall i just want something that will last and is easy to use and organize things in T.T

I'm NOT going to be photo editing or making videos like crazy or playing video games so i don't know if a MACBook is right for me but I'm willing to hear any arguments :)

I'm going to major in psychology and minor in sociology and then get my masters in Social Work if that helps :p

Answer
i reccomend getting a 13-inch MacBook air with 512gb of ssd space.
it has 7 hours battery charge and is less than an inch thick.

What is the difference between the mac book and mac book air?

I know the difference with the mac book pro but these two laptops ( mac book and mac book air) appear the same and seem like they have the same technology.i don't know which one to buy now!

Answer
MacBook Pro:
- You can add in a Core i5 or i7 in it if you want. More RAM. Capable of doing heavy tasks, such as video editing. Sometimes you can get 10 hours of battery life. Also, there are more ports than the MacBook Air.

MacBook Air:
- Thin, Lite, and small. Its very portable. No Hard Drives, it uses a Flash Storage. Its not as powerful compared to the MacBook / Pro series. And it uses the Core 2 Duo Chip, instead of an i3 processor. Its best for Daily web surfing, Photos, Media, Documents, etc; Not used for heavy duty tasks.

The new Early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" Apple MacBook Pro MC723LL is an incredible leap in performance. I deal with new Macs every day, and most of the time a performance increase is not that great. This new line is a HUGE leap in performance, both in processor (quad core vs dual core) as well as graphics (discreet). I bought the low end 2 GHZ model and increased the RAM to 8G. I give VMWare 2 processors and 4G of RAM...Windows screams!!! For Adobe CS5 work, much, much faster than dual core.

Answer
Your laptop came with Windows 7. I'm sure you will like to make and edit movies too. Install Windows Live Movie Maker 2011:
http://explore.live.com/windows-live-movie-maker?os=other

WLMM 2011 will allow you to take videos using the webcam. Capture a few seconds of video of yourself and save it. Play the video and pause it. Take a snapshot and save it.

Where should I buy my computer?

paupau

I have 1000 to buy a laptop for college. I'm a English major so I don't need too much fancy stuff. I do take a lot of pictures and put them on my computer, if that means anything. I also need wifi. I'm not sure if I should get a pc or a mac, a mac would be more expensive, I understand, but I don't know if its worth it. Thank you for your help.

Answer
A mac wouldn't really be worth the extra money, based on your needs. I would suggest looking at either an ASUS or Toshiba laptop or a Lenovo Thinkpad. They all have very good build quality. Toshibas and Thinkpads are very durable while ASUS laptops have some of the highest quality hardware available.
For good prices on computers, you may want to check out Newegg.com and Tigerdirect.com

@Skylar Oh wow. Well, fanboys will be fanboys, I guess. Where to start?
Well, Macbooks do come with some simple photo and video editing software, but then, so do some Windows computers. And there are free programs for those that don't have this software. Both offer more advanced programs, but they're around ~$200 on both platforms(Final Cut Pro, Aperture, etc on Macs).
Microsoft Office Home and Student does not cost anywhere NEAR $400. You're just making stuff up, there. It costs $150 if you buy from Microsoft, and you can find it cheaper on Newegg and Tigerdirect.
PCs don't NEED virus protection, all you need is Common Sense 2011. Virus protection just means you have to be less cautious. And there are TONS of free antivirus out there. Most notably MSE and MalwareBytes free version.
I don't know where you got that "...the last time a Mac had one that wasnt installed purposly was 2006" thing from, but I know people who have had viruses on Macs. It's possible to get viruses on Macs, it's just unusual because there aren't many coded for the OS.
Many laptops come with warranties. Not sure what you're talking about there. Why are you calling Microsoft for a warranty?
Yeah, Windows PCs come with a "website builder", too. It's called a text editor. Of course, most people don't use those. They don't use Adobe Dreamweaver or whatever is on the Mac, either though. They make IDEs for these things.
"Microsoft says you need to get a new computer every 18 months to not lag." Oh wow, I have no idea where you pulled that one from, but that isn't true in the slightest. I've seen plenty of Windows machines last MUCH longer than that. In fact, I have one in my living room from '04. Still works fine.
"Add that up also. And for netbooks the life spam is 6 months". Again, no. Are you just making up numbers or something?
"Macs are used in so many schools, and by so many in college, and so many teachers for a reason." Well, yeah. They're fairly reliable and there aren't very many viruses on them. Guess what else a lot of schools use? Workstation desktops and Lenovo Thinkpads. Those run Windows.
"and they are so dependable." Yes, they are pretty dependble. Less so than ASUS, Toshiba, and the higher quality Thinkpads (X and T series, mainly), but Macs are definitely up there.
Oh, and you can't upgrade the hardware in a Mac. Personally, I view that as a problem. That's just me, though.
