Please help me find a cheap laptop for video editing?

Szymon

It has to be a laptop that cost 570pounds (could be a little bit higher)The laptop has to have 6 or 8 gb ram, intel core i5 or higher, 1.5 or 2gb graphics card,15.6"(preferable) or 17" screen.
Remember it has to be a good laptop for video editing and avalible in northern Ireland to buy.

Answer
You probably won't get something suitable for the price you want, unless you get it second hand. Look into possibly a second hand Toshiba Satellite, or something similar. However, you'll need a fairly high end model to get what you need. For something that's seriously good, expect to pay more than your budget; my 2 computers I use for editing were over £1000 each, and I still had to upgrade RAM to something more powerful.

I hope this helps.

I'm looking for a laptop that will be able to handle some short film video editing. It wouldn't be used exclusively for that and I'm looking for something below $800

Answer
Video editing machine needs both a powerful Processor & Graphic card.

Asus, Dell, HP etc...You should compare them all, but you find Acer totally dominates this price range, in terms of gear it gives that translates to overall performance.

I suggest having a look at the Acer Aspire 15" http://www.dpbolvw.net/l8122biroiq59EA9A9A576AA6EFD?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2FProduct%2FProduct.aspx%3FItem%3DN82E16834115795%26nm_mc%3DAFC-C8Junction%26cm_mmc%3DAFC-C8Junction-_-Notebooks-_-Acer%2BAmerica-_-34115795&cjsku=N82E16834115795 . Comes with intel "Core i5-450M" (Dual Core) processor & nvidia "GT 330M" graphic card, its performance will be identical to $1,799 - 15" Macbook Pro.

If you like it bigger & even more powerful, Acer Aspire 17" http://www.jdoqocy.com/qn72uoxuowBFKGFGFGBDCGGCKLJ?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2FProduct%2FProduct.aspx%3FItem%3DN82E16834115792%26nm_mc%3DAFC-C8Junction%26cm_mmc%3DAFC-C8Junction-_-Notebooks-_-Acer%2BAmerica-_-34115792&cjsku=N82E16834115792 . Comes with the new amd "Phenom II N830" (Triple Core), this is equivalent to "Core i5 540M" & Radeon "HD 5650" which is faster than GT 330M, means this machine's graphic ablility will be faster than Macbook Pro.

I'm looking at getting a new laptop for video editing. I'm looking at two different computers - the main difference - the graphics card. The cheaper one has a NVIDIA GeForce 330M (with 48 pipelines) and the more expensive one has a GeForce 250M, which has 96 pipelines. Will the first option have a good enough graphics card for video editing in high definition?

Answer

It supports large range HD video and general video formats and all popular players.

How can I make a good quality video recording and professionally edit it plus make the audio clear?

eguru

I've been dreaming to make some short videos (advertisement type, like some people on youtube make), however I only have a camera, laptop and a cheap mike. Are there any free video editing softwares or something as simple as photo story 3 but for creating/editing videos (and audios)?

Answer
Keep the dream alive! Making videos is great fun. I'm not sure what type of video camera you have, but I do know that you will need a good laptop if you are planning on doing any serious video editing. Some laptops come bundled with a built in camera and mic and even software which will allow you to easily capture some video and export it ready for uploading to YouTube etc. Cyberlink YouCam is an example of software which sometimes comes bundled with laptops.

Else, if you're using Windows (Me, XP, and Vista) you may have Windows Movie Maker available. Development of Windows Movie Maker was abandoned after the release of Windows Vista; its replacement, Windows Live Movie Maker, is included with Windows Live Essentials, a free download from Windows Live. Google is your friend :))

Good luck!

What is the best laptop for video editing?

Ok, so I need a laptop for video editing for school, but I don't know which one to get. I need one with at least 2.4GHz, something with a RAM higher than 1.00 GB, and lots of memory. Please don't say "Don't get laptops, get a desktop..." because I already have a desktop great for video editing and now I need a laptop.
Please help.

Answer
Well.. this could help you narrow down your choices..

Get a laptop with a dual core processor that rates at least the speed you want there.
Get a laptop that has a video card with dedicated video memory, as opposed to one that uses shared video memory.

Now. I know you can read. You posted the question here. You know that 2.4ghz something means something, and you know how to spot that. You know how to spot RAM and the numbers that will be around it.

You are perfectly capable of looking YOURSELF for what you want. Why? Because any laptop you look at, will list it's processor speed (that 2.4ghz thingy), how much RAM it has (Yep... RAM=RAM. No big geek translator needed there) and more.

In short, if you want to act as knowledgeable as you are trying (I don't need a desktop for actual computing power. Got one. I want a laptop as powerful and versatile as a desktop. I just don't want to take the time to learn what "powerful" means) then start looking yourself.

Prepare to be disappointed. Few laptops are made to the specifications you are expecting (made for video editing in mind), and the ones that are, are not cheap.

Maybe you should look at a Sager. Completely custom laptops.
http://www.sagernotebook.com/default.php Go ahead and build yourself one there online. See how much it costs. Oh, and if you don't know what all these options and doodads and numbers mean... isn't it time you learned?
