I'm in the market for a laptop where the only power use is for HD video editing (professional), and Visual effects. I do not care about any 3d, or games. What I am looking for is a fast processor i7 or i5 although I would prefer quadcore. The i7-2670 looks good, but I'm flexible. 6-8GB of ddr3 memory, USB 3.0 and firewire would be excellent, but the FW is a bonus. It is to be used as a mobile editing bay.
I was looking at-- http/reviews.cnet.com/laptops/asus-u46e-bal6/4505-3121_7-35035010.html?tag=contentBody;img35035010#reviewPage1
Which is decent. The processor is not as good as would like but it is not bad by any means. If I could keep it in the 850 range it would be great.
It is hard to find what I am looking for, since gaming laptops invest a lot of resources into GPU, which is not something that I need that much of-- Unless it is open gl card, which is out of my range. Other things that would be great, would be 7200 rpm HDD.
Does any one have any recommendations of prebuliders like Sager, or digital storm?
What I want.
Fast Intel chip(i5-i17)
6-8gb ddr3 ram
7200rpm drive
Usb 3.0 (fire wire huge bonus)
Any help would be great. The Sager option looks good but a bit more than what I want to pay. Also, I don't know how they are built-- IE.) if they use quality casings/ screen etc.
