I am going to college in the fall, so I am in need of a good laptop. According to my parents, it is inevitable that I will be getting a PC around $1,000-1,500. I would prefer HP with Windows 7.
Anyways, I want a laptop that would not only run games well, but also run video editing software well. I want to play games like "Minecraft" and other Steam games on high settings without much lagging. I am going to get Adobe Premeire Pro for video editing.
I now that I need a good dedicated graphics card (ex: NVIDIA) for the games, but that's about it. So, what specifications do I need to look for in a good video gaming and video editing laptop?
Thanks!
@TheTurtleGuy: I'd like to have Alienware, but their laptops are WAY too expensive. And like I said, my parents can only give me a laptop around $1,000 to $1,500. Thanks for your answer, though.
Answer
Elements of both a good gaming and video editing laptop are quad core cpu, a decent amount of ram (8gb or 16gb recommended), a high end gpu (depending on resolution).
CPU - i7 intel (the mobile i5 cpus are dual core cpus with 2 additional threads)
GPU -
1366x768 resolution max settings - Radeon HD 7850m or Geforce GTX 660m or better (30-40fps+)
1920x1080 max settings - Radeon HD 7970 or Geforce GTX 680m or better (25+fps)
EDIT: Geforce GTX 650m is also good for 1366x768 if you don't mind scaling back some settings like antaliasing or play at 1080p and cut back on antialiasing and some details.

Btw, although Alienware is solid its very overpriced.
Edit: The dell costs $400 more than the cyberpc similar specs.

Heres a laptop that costs almost the same as Alienware but has a better gpu

You can buy more ram or an ssd seperately and install it yourself.

what's a good laptop for digital photo/video editing?
Just me ag
i'm saving up for a laptop, but i have no idea which one to choose. i create and edit lots of videos and digitally edit many pictures on my old computer, but it's very restrictive because the only program downloaded is Windows Movie Maker and I use FotoFlexer paired with Picnik for the photos. so which laptop is the best for editing and uploading videos/pictures?
Answer
if your looking to profesonally edit videos then buy an apple macbook apple is know for there video editing software but if your looking to go for a more casual edit for videos then just buy a dell with a newer verson of windows movie maker but if you edit lots of videos then buy a macbook for the video editing software
