Look at used dell m4600 or m4700 with a quad I7 they should be had for around the price you want.
Here is a good option for what you are asking for with a quad i7 and a 2gb graphics card.

As the dell is a workstation class laptop that orginialy cost over 2000 usd it should be good for basic video editing for years to come.
Hope this helps have fun
