Cheap, updgradable laptop

[denny123]

The title says it all. Right now I have a late 2010 Macbook Air(21months old), when I first buy this laptop I have no intention of using it for Video-editing or so on. After getting this, i started liking video editing. Now that I'm going to the Multimedia school, I need a more powerful work station. Right now I'm building a PC quite high in specs, but I also need a secondary for campus use. I'm looking for a a laptop which is around $500-600, has a decent CPU and upgradable GPU and RAM. If possible not that heavy.

Cheers

In most laptops now days, RAM is easily upgraded. The GPU however, may not be, at least not in your price range. In your range you're looking at a very average set up. You can probably manage a 3rd gen core i5 processor, 8GB RAM and a strictly ok GPU.

Here check this out for starters...

But remember, in your price range your options are pretty limited.
