I'm only going to be doing fairly small batches of editing. At the moment, I really don't need a super machine, like an i7. I think an i5 or a proper AMD would do it.

Budget for this area of my work/hobby is limited I know the right thing to do would be to go ahead and bite the bullet with an i7, but its overkill at the moment and I really wouldn't utilize it.
Whether you edit 1 scene a yeah or 200 a week, It doesn't matter. A $400 laptop just will NOT cut it. Ever try editing HD video on a weak system? Trust me, it's awful and 99% impossible without dropping frames, locking up the editing program and sometimes just plain ol system-wide lockup.

Build a cheapo desktop with good graphics card.
