My old crummy laptop is slow as dirt right now and I'm thinking of upgrading it. I'd be using it for video editing but it obviously wouldn't be my main computer for it, I'd use my desktop for that. I know it is possible to use it for video editing in it's current state since I used it for just that in college but it's obviously not ideal. All my editing materials would be on an external usb3 hard drive.
Specs:
Laptop model MSI FX600MX
Nvidia 310m (soldered)
Intel i5-460m
2x2gb ddr3L 1333Mhz RAM (SODIMM?)
An old 500gb 2.5" WD HDD partitioned into 2 parts for some reason.
I'm definetely going to go with an SSD because it's the law.
If I go with upgrading my CPU right now I'm looking at either an Intel i7-640M or intel i7-2620M depending on which one is compatible, and RAM I might upgrade to 2x4gb for a bit of an extra kick.
Other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.
