    Laptop question

    Not too long ago a number of you very helpful people help me put together my first PC. Which has been doing rather nicely so thanks again!

    Well, my brother has recently been looking at laptops, but it's a bit of unknown territory for me. I believe they're not as upgradeable or customiseable as a desktop but then you're looking at portability. I think he's planning to do quite a bit of video production with it along with some audio creation.

    He was looking at this one - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1109938021195

    Anything particular I can advise him on or that he should be looking for? Any tips?

    Very high spec but it's very heavy, large and the battery life will suck when at full pelt.

    I wouldn't get that too be honest, try a high spec dell or acer or similar because the graphics card on that won't be that great and for that price you should be looking at something with a 6800go or similar

    Better places to shop - online? Something that I can take a look at or show him.

    Scotty - battery life? How long? Approx.

    Acer are generally the best for portable laptops.
