I'm looking at upgrading laptops. I type this from a custom 15" built by a local shop with 2 gig P4, 256 ram, 40 gig hdd. I'm looking for something with a bigger screen and enough oomph to get into video editing. Not producing indy films or anything, just camcorder stuff. My laptop serves as my desktop replacement and I don't do a lot of traveling, but I do occasionally drag it down to the lab or something. I do not like how hot this one runs and how often it runs its fan, and how uselss its battery life is. I'm thinking a lot has to do with the pentium desktop processor, but it might be poorly built too.
I don't really know what all is out there, but I was looking at the Sonys with the 2.0 gig pentium M and the 80 gb hdd. It is very tempting to look at some laptops that come with up to 3 ghz pentium 4s, but I wonder about their utility as actual laptops.
If it comes in a reasonably thin and light package I'm looking to go 17" and I also want a dvd burner.
I don't really know what specs you want nowadays to do video with.
I'm looking to spend under $2500 but could spend more, don't hesitate to reccomend more expensive ones.
