Hello
Anyone recommend a selection of laptops that will edit 4K video from my P4? I'm interested in the lower budget end

Thanks

I have a Toshiba satellite running on an I7 with 12GB of ram and it handles it ok. Go to very.co.uk and get the buy now pay 12 months later 0% as that helped me purchase my drone and batteries from their too

I had a Toshiba Satellite and it would overheat and crash on video editing and it was slow - like days on big files. You need to look for some gamer's version (MSI, Alienware, Sager, etc.) that has some processing, storage, and video power behind it. Also, video files are huge and even the guys with the SSD carded-up new Inspires will fill a half a terabyte of video that takes two hours just to transfer over USB into their computer. To edit that you also need a whole lotta drive space. I had to upgrade my SSD card in the computer to 1 terabyte too as the 256GB SSD C:\ drive wouldn't handle the 4K video, and that goes onto a scratch 1 TB hard drive too that is also too small now. Ugh!
