Hard laptop choice

[Coulous]

Hello guys!

I'm looking for a laptop with good specifications, as it would be used for video editing. So, I wonder if a i5 would be nice, or if I need to take an i7 powered laptop.

Also, I need the laptop to have a nice battery life (4/5h using Office/Word). Should I focus on i7-U ou i7-H (big performance difference?).

And I also don't know which brand to choose. I like MSI and never had problems with my last MSI laptop, but I had problems on every Asus things I had (an old GPU, 2 old motherboards, my actual P67 Sabertooth...) so are they a good laptop brand? And how are Lenovo, Acer, Toshiba, etc?
If you have any laptops suggestions, please show them to me!

Thank you,
Coulous

Without knowing the budget it is hard to suggest a laptop. Asus is generally a good laptop for video editing but they are normally focused on multimedia and gaming (n and g series).

Assuming you can afford it, try and get either a lenovo w series or an hp zbook I think its called.

The macbook pro 15 is also not a bad choice if you don't mind macs as they have a good display.

Definitely get an i7 m cpu not a u cpu, they are not good for heavy duty video editing.
