Which Laptop?
Hi guys, I have just been accepted into the North Carolina School of Science and Math (wooh!) and as a result, my parents said they would get me a new laptop, as my old one is dated to 2002. Which introduces a new question:
Which Laptop Should I get For Video Editing?
Suggestions, Noted Models, and Educated Guesses are all welcome.
Thanks,
Wes

You'll never know if you don't go. GO!
Since you've posted this in both the Mac and PC subforums, it appears you haven't decided on even the OS...
Get a good, fast PC laptop...
But you said to get a MacBook Pro...
If your parents are paying, purchase a MacBook Pro 17" i7.
Haha ok. Should I get Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro for it?
Yes, but that was on the Mac subforum. This is the PC subforum...Originally Posted by WESELDAR
I've only used Adobe Premiere Pro and love it, but both are great software. If you purchase Final Cut Pro or even Studio, then you can technically just hit up Apple as your number one spot for support. One place to stop...
With an MBP I'd stick to Final Cut. You don't get all of CS5's gimmicks out of a MacBook. On the other hand, the student version of CS5 Master is about the same price as FCS...

Yeah, for editing get a Mac with FCP...

Charlie's editing on this with Vegas Movie Studio Platinum. I've been able to edit HDV footage on it easily.
Retail price, and on B&H.
