*** new top of the range laptop ***
Hey all... so it's simple. I'm a videographer and i work with HD footage. I'm looking for a laptop to allow me to work when I'm say, at a wedding in between speeches and the evening reception with 3 hours to kill. Basically I could have the most of the editing done while I'm scratching my ass.
What i need is decent processing (2GHZ+ Dual Core), big ram (3GB+), big graphics (512MB+), blu-ray burner, compact flash slot (optional), reasonable HDD (100GB+)
I know it probably won't be cheap but I don't want to be spending a small fortune.
Cheers for any ideas guys!
p.s and firewire

There mobile derivatives for the Core i5 coming out in the next few months so I would be looking at the release date of these too!!
Also AFAIK video encoding is better with quad cores so I would looking at getting a quad core notebook.

Battery life? I'm not too sure how good they are but it's worth looking into
Re: *** new top of the range laptop ***
If you are doing encoding battery life is going to be crap anyway and the mains will be the only option unless you own a mobile nuclear power plant that is.................! :lol:
Re: *** new top of the range laptop ***
lol, i'm fresh out of uranium.
ok, will look at the i5.
i can usually get acces to mains so it's just a case of processing power.
