Hey everyone,

So, I'm totally new to this and I have a question that I hope you all can help me with. I'm looking for ideas on a (under 500 euro) laptop that I can use for editing videos. As someone that doesn't have a lot of knowledge about laptops, I'm at a complete loss. From what I see online, I should have at least 8 GB Ram and 256GB SSD. (Forgive me if thats not right). I know that Quad core seems to be better than Dual, but that's about it. I'm basically going to be running Vegas Pro 15 and maybe using Audacity for narration. If you could help me I would greatly appreciate it
