However, I do have a few requirements/questions...
Firstly, I would like to do video editing on it. So it needs to be dual-core, preferrably core 2 duo, unless the turons are actually decent, and it needs firewire.
Only, I am not sure how well a system with the following kind of specs will for video editing:
Dual core
Vista
2GB memory (may upgrade to 4GB)
5400RPM drive
Won't be doing gaming on it. If I do decide to get a laptop, I will then game exclusively on my 360.
I would also be doing some development work (Visual Studio) and photo editing on this machine.
I am wondering if I would get a system powerful enough for under, or around, £500, that would cope with my needs?
While I have been messing aorund with desktops for many, many years, and would know what I need/want, I am in the dark where laptops are concerned....
