Answer
To the best of my knowledge that spec laptop would cope very well :) but no matter how good the laptop is, rendering will always take a very long time. I personally use a desktop with an Intel Core2Quad Q8300, ATI Radeon HD5670, 4GB DDR3 (1333mHz) RAM and a 320GB and 2TB SATA2 7200RPM hard drives, and i can edit and render reasonably well.

Laptop for video editing?

thompsonch

I am currently getting into 3d art and video editing. I am going to use such programs as premiere and after effects cs3 or cs4. The problem is, everybody tells me to go mac. I cannot afford a mac. I have been looking and there are windows computers with higher specs for 1/3 of the price of the macbok pro. What laptop should i get that will make rendering video a breeze and will have unlimited speed. i am currently looking at these specs

2.5-3.0 GHZ procesor
dual core processor
4 gb ram
a video card that can handle blue ray quality
and at least 200 gb hardrive.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Video Editing Laptop?

RiverEdits

I use Sony Vegas Pro, Cinema 4D, & Adobe After Effects, but my laptop(Sony Vaio) lags & is really slow when I'm editing. What are the fastest laptops for video editing? Ones that won't lag AT ALL. List some for me? I don't want a Macbook, so don't list that, thanks.

Answer
The fastest laptop for video editing is the one with the fastest processor. You can only render video as fast as your processor can handle it. RAM or what video card...that doesn't have anything to do with the speed of rendering.

New laptop used for video editing?

tootall7us

I need a new laptop especially for video editing and Photoshop. Would the Toshiba Satellite (model P875-S7310) be a good choice.

Answer
relatively,although I would recommend buying a pc with an nvidia or AMD graphics card to accelerate the video editing program allowing smoother previews and faster renders.graphics cards can also accelerate photoshop.

something like this would be good.

I have a Toshiba laptop and it has a 2.7 ghz (up to 3.2) but I do a lot of video editing and need better rendering speed. Is there something to buy or should I just get a desktop? I don't run any program while I render videos. I have a AMD processor.

Answer
Overclock your processor. But I do really suggest getting a desktop. Desktop is better especially if you do a lot of video editting. Get a processor with more hyper threading.

Does a grahpics card matter when video editing?

Warren F

I am planning on buying a laptop soon for video editing. My question is that for video editing does your graphics card matter much, or is the processor and ram more of a factor when video editing?

Thanks

Answer
The video card is a major factor when video editing. If you are going to be doing a lot of it you should consider getting a desktop and a video card that is made for video editing.

A friend of mine got one 3 years ago that was like $800. It had that round wheel that lets you go forward and reverse through the video. It was such a powerful card he could do everything in real time without having to render the video all the time.
