Clare!
i want a lot of video effects.. especially the reverse effect..
of course it already has webcam&mic. webcam=PHOTOBOOTH ! (:
does it also have a video screen capture in it?
what are the cons for mac?
tyvm to all in advance!
please recommend another laptop if not mac.
Answer
Mac has a built in video editing tool. Better than the video editing made by MS by a mile.
All of the features you require can be done with a windows laptop ofcourse but uncomplicate yourself and just get a mac. The video editing tool is free, simple and full-featured

Best PC laptop for video editing?
Music Is M
Hi!
I'm a film student looking to buy a new laptop this week, but I don't want to spend more than $1,200. I want the best possible quality I can get! I know macs are the big thing but on my budget I feel like I can get a faster/better computer in that price range by getting a PC. Also I edit with Avid Media Composer and Adobe premier/suite so if you know a laptop that handles those well... let me know!
Suggestions??
Also are computers that are good for gaming also good for video editing? I was checking out graphics cards and gaming computers seem to have the best ones!
Any opinions on this Toshiba?

Btw... I'm pretty skeptical about hp laptops because my last two broke and they always overheat!
To clarify, I am not looking for a gaming computer or a mac! Just a computer that will run fast and support intense video editing!
Answer
The Toshiba Qosmio X870 you're looking at isn't a good choice. The problem with that laptop is that it comes with a 17.3" 1600x900 display (as opposed to a 17.3" 1920x1080 display). 1600x900 resolution in a 17.3" display makes things onscreen large, and 17.3" displays that have 1600x900 resolution tend to be low-grade LCD panels with very poor image quality due to low contrast. You should make a point to avoid displays like this (15.6" 1366x768, 17.3" 1600x900, etc.) when it is reasonable to do so, unless you require the larger text for eyesight-related reasons.
This is more of an issue than a lot of other things. For example, an i5-3210M (as opposed to maybe an i7-3630QM) is not a terrible processor, a GTX 660M (as opposed to maybe a GTX 670M) is not a terrible GPU, but a 17.3" 1600x900 display is a terrible display. You need to be concerned with improving a display that's pretty bad before you start focusing on other aspects that are already pretty good in a lot of models.
Also note that things like the 12GB RAM, 3GB video memory, etc. are there purely for marketing purposes. They don't improve your gaming experience. You are not going to notice a difference in gaming by having more than ~8GB, and if you end up needing more in other programs than keep in mind that it's very cheap and easy to add more memory in after-market if you get a computer that has less memory than you need. As for the video memory: A 1.5GB GTX 670M is just as good as the 3GB version. The video memory is not the bottleneck, the GPU chip itself is. You'll see essentially the same performance on a 1.5GB version as you'll see on a version with unlimited memory.

That said, take a look at these models:
*Malibal Lotus P150EM** (GTX 670M, 15.6" 1920x1080 matte display) - **$1041 no tax**
