I need a new laptop that can handle video editing (input please?) - GoFuckYourself.com

DWB · 06-05-2005, 01:09 AM

I need something I can take on the road and still be able to handle some serious video editing and rendering. What do you recommend?

INever · 06-05-2005, 01:12 AM

Get your flavor of powerbook or even Ibook. You WILL be satisfied!

IBM T42, i use have avid pro on it and use it to edit when im not in the office

MaDalton · 06-05-2005, 07:13 AM

it should have firewire, a large screen and a big HD. or even better: an external firewire HD. and of course: the more power the better, but that means also more noise

12" Powerbook G4 is the best solution.

Kreal · 06-05-2005, 08:42 AM

Mac only!

Last models of Powerbook 15" or 17" with ram upgrade!
I am using ibook.

Forget about others!

mikesouth · 06-05-2005, 10:47 AM

Hey DWB sorry I missed ya in OH but you may see me there again soon

the HP looks pretty sweet to me, I don't like the MAC soultion because of price and you are pretty well tied to final cut pro a rather expensive solution.

aleck · 06-05-2005, 01:38 PM

ibm T42 - 1-2 gigs of ram, new dothan ~ 2 ghz or so and put 7200 rpm drive from hitachi.

Piss on a laptop, after you unplug it of course, then divide that by 100... and you'll know...

I have a Dell XPS laptop for mobile editing...
17" widescreen
256 meg pciXpress video
80gig 7200rpm
1gig ram
dvd +/-
great sound w/subwoofer

Really nice for editing... I run Vegas5.0d

Matt_WildCash · 06-05-2005, 05:16 PM

I'm sorry if your after something for video editing get a DELL XPS. 3.4 ghz, 2 gig ram, 100 gig 72rpm harddrive, 800FSB SUPER QUICK.

I have one and its faster than any desktop i've ever seen.

Leave the macs to the professionals who only use 1-2 apps, use PC for everything web

Jim_Gunn · 06-05-2005, 08:10 PM

I edit on my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. It's fast enough for video editing and encoding - you may want to check the newer Dell laptops.

DWB · 07-02-2005, 06:08 PM

I can't find the zd7020... only the zd8000. One can only assume the 8000 is the new improved model. lol

AaronM · 07-02-2005, 06:47 PM

I just got a new Toshiba Ultralight and I've been editing video on it off and on since I received it yesterday morning. No problems at all........I was a little concerned because of the specs but it works great including rendering.

2ghz M Proc. 2 gigs of ram and under 5 pounds. Perfect for travel.
