Best Laptop/Systems for video Editing

[cwadhwa]

Hi,

I need to edit videos to make them of quality which could be telecast on TV channels. Till i was using my old PC. Since now i need to edit them of good quality so i need to buy a laptop (preferably) or a desktop which suffice the editing requirements.

1) Could you please help me with spec/configuration?

2) Could you please help me figure which laptop would be a best buy - DELL, SONY, Toshiba. I want one which is windows based so Apple is no more an option.

Please provide your guidance.

Thanks in anticipation of a quick reply!

Again, get a camcorder first. Then see how it can be connected to your PC.

I don't do professional video editing, so can't suggest you the best laptop. Personally I would go for a core i7 PC with at least 6GB of RAM and a nice discrete graphics card.

Not sure using a laptop for video editing is a good idea, because most probably you will need a bigger monitor or even a couple of them.
I've been using a 17" 1080p laptop. It is very heavy and can be used on a flat surface only, so I never take it with me. And its 17" screen is not big enough for me.

I have Dell XPS 14z Laptop. It's really great laptop and I'm using Adobe Premier Pro and Adobe After Effect for video editing bot software are working perfectly on my Dell XPS laptop.
