matt_k Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I have a notebook which is not quick enough to edit my sd from hd go pro. When buying a new laptop what am i looking for for editing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poz Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 A Mac Thought I'd get it in first! Seriously though; minimum i5, but preferably i7 processor. At least 1 gb graphics card 8gb Ram. Cyberlink Powerdirector 10 (superb piece of editing software) You shouldn't need to pay more than £700 for a great editing machine, or £1300 (minimum) for a Mac Book Pro. I would be tempted to look at newish (12 months old) 2nd hand machines, as there are loads of computer nerds out there who wouldn't dream of keeping a PC for any longer than a year. There are thousands on eBay. Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If you want to enjoy the experience a bit more think about a desktop for editing. If you want to get the best performance from a laptop use an SSD instead of a hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartasutherland Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I use a mac book pro. Its not just because the hardware is good. I use iMovie and it is just a pleasure to make a movie with! Once you go Mac, you dont go back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil1975 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Desktop = iMac Laptop = Macbook Neither of mine are particularly new but both are well up to the job. I use iMovie to edit & Mpeg stream clip to chop up the go pro footage & to cross convert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
