Good laptop for Video editing?




Jesus


What is a good laptop for video editing? I recently had mine stolen and I wanted to know what specs are best? Other than lots of RAM

All under a fare price Im on a budget.
If you know any way to make a custom one please describe thank you so much!

( I know Laptops aren't the best for editing but I like the portable aspect of it )



Answer
For video editing, you need to look for a laptop that has the following:

1. Dedicated GPU(video card)

Without a dedicated GPU, video editing will be very difficult and slow. ALWAYS buy a laptop with a dedicated GPU. In most laptops you can upgrade the RAM and CPU, but the GPU is either soldered to the motherboard or is manufactured differently for each model.


2. RAM

8gb should be fine, just so long as your not dealing with resolutions greater than 1080p. Not as important as having a dedicated GPU, but still a necessity if you plan on doing any kind of video editing or 3D modeling. My advice to you, is to purchase a less expensive laptop, and just upgrade the RAM. It's a lot cheaper, and you get to chose your own manufacturer and memory configuration.



3. SSD

Not a necessity, but loading your OS onto an SSD will dramatically shorten boot/shutdown times, and give your OS system a noticeable speed boost.




4. CPU

Last, but not least is the CPU. If you plan on doing any serious video editing, you will need at least a second generation i3 or better. Word of warning though: STAY AWAY FROM AMD MOBILE CPUs!!. You might be able to get an AMD quad-core for the price of an Intel dual-core i3, but since most programs aren't optimized to run on multiple threads, you will just end up with 4 cores, and a slow computer.

What kind of laptop and specs are best for music/video recording and editing?

My band is getting serious about recording, and instead of going to a studio we'd like to do it ourselves.

My one friend's band.. they do everything from his MacBook and it all sounds like they produce recordings that are studio-quality.

I'm also an extreme gamer.. MMORPG / FPS's.. which is the downfall of me investing in a MacBook.. as City of Heroes/Villians I don't believe is mac-compatible; nor are many other games. :P

So any suggestions on laptop specifications i should look for, for cutting-edge recordings, video editing, and gaming?



Answer
For editing and recording music, a minumum of 1GB of memory and at least 2.0GHz is recommended. You should consider buying a Toshiba Satellite M65-S9092.
