    Toshiba Core i3 L755-S5366, good enough for editing HD?

    Saw this on the black friday list,

    Toshiba core i3 L755-S5366.

    Was looking for a good quick computer to edit HD video on that was cheap, anyone think this will stack up?

    It's 6gb memory, 500 hard drive.

    Not a bad little system overall.... Probably will do 720 basic stuff pretty easy.

              Absolutely, might not be the fastest but it's adequate.

                I appreciate your reply like this in the other thread as well.

                I guess I'm really talking about practicality via Rendering Time. I'm really just getting started on editing full hd with my hp dual core desktop... which is HD ready, but the rendering time seems awful slow.

                Basically just looking for the ideal solution at a low price point.

                No, it doesn't have to be the fastest.. but needs to be able to work at a decent enough speed for the price point.

                  Save yourself the headache. Spend a little and pickup an i7 with 16GB of Memory and a sata3 hard disk. The extra money you spend today will be saved 10 times more in the time that you save. And since you will do projects in less time, you may be able to afford the time to explore other ways to be more creative, making you better at your craft, letting you charge more for the work that you do.

                      Exactly as ********** said.
                      It's better to wait and get more money to buy better stuff.

                      I always prefer to wait with such shopping until I get more cash to buy better stuff.
                      I don't have money to buy shit and later pay again for better hardware, because the first one is not enough for my work.

                            I know I SHOULD probably save up and buy an i7, but there is a large price gap in between the two.

                            Speed and capability is a concern, but so is budget. I'm a "middle of the line" type of guy when it comes to gadgets.. Surely this should be enough to edit a few HD videos with decent rendering time?

                            As much as I would love to be, I am not a high production rate kind of guy.

                              Save a little more, get an i7.
