will this laptop be good for video editing?

J�n Dan�

So I'm going to college and I'm getting a new laptop, I'm going to study to become a media assistant (video, photo, music editing etc.) so the specs are:
Intel Core i5-3337U 1.8 GHz CPU
4 GB DDR3 RAM (Upgradable to 8 GB)
AMD Radeon HD 7450M 1GB GPU
500 GB HDD (I will also buy an external 1 TB or something)
And Windows 8 64-bit
will it be enough for my needs? (Video, Music and Photo editing)

Answer
Yes, that laptop would be very good for your needs, but something with an Intel core i7, or an
AMD A-10 would be even better. The i7 is the fastest and most powerful laptop processor available right now. The latest Gen A-10 performs better than an i5 in most apps, but not quite as good as the i7. The
A-10 has an added advantage if you film any video from a camcorder and do not use a tri-pod, and that is it has a technology called steady cam built right into the processor. When you playback or edit the video using your computer with the A-10 processor, it will automatically smooth out the shakiness.
Here are a few to consider available from Best Buy:

The above listed ASUS gives the most bang for the buck, and ASUS has a great reputation.

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

What specifications are best for video editing on a macbook pro?

which laptop for video editing image

Mckaykay

It looks like the macbook pro is the best laptop for video editing. I just want to know how big the hard drive should be, how much memory etc... Also, I use Final Cut Pro at school, but i dont have enough money to buy it for myself, so is Final Cut Express similar enough where I would be able to bring school projects home to work on with Final cut Express?

Answer
4gb of ram is adequate, as for the hard drive 500gb + if the vids are of any real size - final cut express has more than enough features for most of us, you just need to make sure you dont use any features in only in pro and then try to use in express, but it should work fine.

Are gaming laptops good for video editing?

Josh

I'm looking into getting a new laptop, mainly for video editing. Would a gaming laptop such as a "Battalion 101 W170ER Gaming Laptop" work? Is it good for JUST gaming, or does that mean it just has high graphics? I'm not looking into any gaming, just high-end video editing.

Answer
Gaming computers usually have very high specs, and they should work great for video editing, but they're also very expensive! If you're not going to be gaming with it, it's probably overkill. Look into getting something with a powerful CPU, and at least 4GB of RAM , but without the unnecessary gingerbread and price of a computer built for gaming.

Video cards are for calculating and drawing 3D graphics. You don't need a mega good one for editing and playing videos - that is handled by the CPU.

What is a good laptop for video-editing?

which laptop for video editing image

I currently have a Dell Inspiron 15 and it used to have a battery life of an hour and a half and now has a battery life of under 20 minutes. I've had it for about three years now and when I try to edit videos from my nikon d5100, it gets really slow. My brother says it's because it's too old and can't handle it or something. I was wondering what a good laptop for video editing is. Yes, I want a laptop because a PC is too big for my room and I need it to be portable...(the laptop should also be on the affordable side O______O)

Answer
When editing video RAM becomes a major issue along with having a large amount of hard disk space to use a s a virtual drive. Personally I use a HP DV7 with two I7 processors, 8GB RAM and 2TB disk space. You can probably get away with an 5 and 1TB of disk space, but I would say that you should try for that 8GB RAM, it will make a huge difference in photo and video editing- which make? It doesn't really matter unless you have the money to shell out for Alienware and their speed optimised machines, but that comes at a hefty premium

First of I don't want an apple cause they are way to expensive. So I was wondering which laptop is great for video editing and if it helps I'm planning to use adobe premiere and a blue snowball microphone as part of my studio but which laptop will be great for doing this?

Answer
I know you dont want to hear this but the answer to your question is honestly a mac book. They are great for editing. Try to invest in one. If not.. The next best alternative could possibly be a samsung laptop or.. Dell.
