Hi All,

I have currently got this:
- Dell E6420
- Intel Core i7 2640m 2.7GHz Processor
- 4GB DDR3 Memory
- 250GB Hard Drive

I'm not sure if it just needs a fresh install of everything, or if it is simply not up to the task?

I was trying to edit GoPro footage and it was just really laggy. Is hardware up to the task, and the 4yr old Windows install and all the other rubbish on there ruining performance?

Or, do I need a new(er) laptop for editing GoPro footage?

If a new laptop, my budget is £300, but I wouldn't mind spending less.
Happy with secondhand
Just needs to be able to edit GoPro footage with minimal lag.

Thanks
R
