What to look for when buying a new laptop for photo & film editing?

what is the best laptop for hd video editing image

Rach8

Ok, first, you should know that you are talking to a tech-retard. I know nothing about laptops! I need a new one suitable for editing images and also some HD video editing. What sort of things should I look for in a laptop suitable for these? I'd like to research into one myself. If you have any recommendations of laptops that are good for my needs that would be great too. Hopefully you can help me. Thanks

Answer
go to hp, and check out their High Performance laptops, I had just got the dv6t quad edition, and its excellent.

has the highest video card for the price of the laptop, im running battlefield 3 excellent. Im sure it will handle anything video or image quality.

and it has the new 3rd gen intel processors, the i7s, which are what ur looking for that can handle all the rendering of video / image editing.

Your going to need more than 8gbs of ram though, like 12 or 16. I've researched it too for those types of programs. 8 is good too, but for standard gaming and things. You might see a bit of delay when opening or waiting for the edits to apply if u have only 8.

and oh, DON't get apple. lol

What is a good laptop around $500 that can do all of the following?

Change

- engineer software like sony vegas pro
- playback atleast 720p video
- able to handle HD video editing

And if you think there are none like the last people who answered

My cousin has a 15.6 720p acer laptop that fit these features and it was no more then $500 tax included!
