I am looking for a good video editing laptop so that I can edit when I am away from the studio.

I am close to purchasing an HP with the following specs but that I would get all your opinions first...

Windows Vista 64 Bit

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T9550

4GB DDR2 System Memory

500 GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive

1 GB NVidia Ge Force GT 130M

16" HD Screen

Thoughts?????

should work just fine, but, you might have a data transfer rate problem with the hard drive at 5400. I would suggest an external drive for video files.

I will agree about the 54, if you could find another comp in the same price range that sports a 7200RPM HD then you might give that a try, otherwise look for an external for the vid files as JohnBoy said. Also, Gateway has a rig out now with DDR3 ram which is slightly more stable and faster. If the price is similar, you might check it out.

Other than those two things, the rig looks good, and trust me, you will love that nvidia card.
