Will this laptop run video editing programs?

[katyb94]

Hello,Hi, buying a new laptop, and like dabbiling in video editing (sony vegas pro and an earlier version of CS4 or 5 (don't know which one it'll be yet)

I know higher specs are better (am not very educated in all this though) but it also needs to be portable enough for university.

I was thinking of this one

but was wondering whether it'd be good enough? It's not pro or anything.

Theres also this one

but I was less sure because of the size, I've never had less than 15 but do have a bigger monitor.

Sorry if I'm asking wrong or anything, and thanks for taking the time to read

IF I were you I'd set my priorities first, Size vs Processing Power.

Ultrabooks are expensive since they are smaller (and much weaker), bigger laptops 15.6" (in the same price range or a bit higher) can literally give you 3 times the processor power (look for a, i7 3610QM or a 3630QM) and most high end ones come with a dedicated GPU like a 650M which will make a noticeable difference as well.
