I Want a New Laptop - Help!

try newegg.com i use it and LOVE it, no problems at all whatsoever!

they have reviews, and discounts.

id go for 2 gb ram and 512 graphics, pick a pretty decent processor.

you can search for them but in my opinion that should be sufficient.

2.0 processor should work, but after that it can get expensive quick, but there are tons of deals right now.

some might even have software deals i am not sure.

but i too am searching for a vid intensive laptop, asus has some awesome ones ive heard, the best from what my friend told me, but i have no specifics, "lenovo" as well and not at the insane prices of voodo or alienware or some other "gaming" pc namebrands.

thats all i can offer good luck! hopefully they drop the prices for xmas! i so need a gaming laptop, or even a midrange until i get this friends workstation and/or my old desktop fixed but thats a few months away.

I just bought that very laptop a week ago at CC, Bella. So far so good, but I'm not doing graphic-intensive work. I edited some video with movie-maker, but again, not real high-level stuff.

Pc World have some kinda Asus laptop with good graphics card etc its on sale and is like £549

Bella, I do a lot of web editing and newsletters and other graphic design stuff. I have a new HP and my conclusion is this:

a) i'll never buy an HP again
b) in fact nothing that has Windows Vista on it
c) My next laptop will be a Mac. Some of them run windows operated programs, so you don't have to get all new programs and can transfer them - that is what i will do once this new one croaks (can't wait)

P.S.: I love the tablet features on my HP.... can't wait for Mac to put out a tablet. That will be da shiznit.

Of course it should be a MAC. Is there anything else?

Love it.

Update on my HP laptop: It generates a lot of heat, and very quickly. I'm not real impressed with that.

I'd go for a Mac, too, but I'd suggest a desktop--even though that's not what you want. Their laptops are wonderful, but one equipped for heavy video editing would be too rich for my blood.

If I want to carry stuff around, I borrow my wife's HP laptop, but this is not often, so I'm content with the big Mac on my desk. Incidentally, her HP laptop has functioned flawlessly for a year--but it's not hugely powerful.
