Red Lightning

Hi all.

What kind of video quality are we looking at?

you won't get a thin and light laptop (very portable) in that price range that will handle video editing well.

something like this would do the job

ASUS FX504GD-E4278T

4-core (hi-performance for a laptop) 8300h cpu
16gb ram to provide enough ram for video editing
256gb ssd for fast access for editing stuff
1tb spinning drive for storage
full hd 15.6 screen
nvidia 1050 graphics card for faster dedicated video editing
2.2kg

800 sterling. use revolut for buying. good site. very reliable.

or you could look to buy the base model on amazon for 600 and add an ssd yourself and ram if needed (8gb)

you also on the amazon page have the option of a better ips screen (for £720)

if you want to sacrifice higher up dedicated gpu power for portability then you could go for a laptop with the 8250u cpu and maybe an nvidia mx150

like this very portable one
