after giving it a considerable tough im trying to get started on research to get my laptop the best specs, if i can afford a P ill use that for gaming and my laptop for editing videos and music and running some emus, what are the best specs considering: i have a core 2 duo of 2.2GHZ i have 2 GB of ram. a HDD of 160 GB- REal tek audio card and intel chipset family, im not sure of the brands of all the components, but what is the best idea to do here, obviously i want a bigger HD and more ram, but what else can i add aside a better graphic card
video editing is best done on a dedicated PC, it requires a lot of processor power and fast hard disks.
my uncle can do his job on a macbook,sure its an specialized computer and OS, but im aiming something of a lower level, mainly be able to record, cut and switch the format of the vid, not making whole programs of 60 minutes
If he's a professional I doubt he renders on the macbook, he would offload that to a dedicated render station or render farm. It's that part of the process that needs the power.
he is the heavy part of the edition he does it on an avid,still what would be the best components for my comp, or desk PC?
