Could anyone give me some advice please?

I want to buy a laptop to edit using TMPGenc Xpres3 and DVD Author Pro.

I'm dubing old home movie Video tapes to DVD Ram with a Panasonic recorder then making DVDs with the above software, plus I have some Digicam tapes to transfer and edit.

I spend a lot of time away so portability is a big factor and a laptop is my only option. Do I need a Dual Core processor? Is hardisk speed critical? How much Ram would you reccommend.

I have seen some write-ups on the new Sony Laptops, but most user reviews really slate them for problems and poor aftersales service.

Many thanks,

Paul - England.

If your away alot then no dont get a dual core processing laptop. they suck battery life like crazy. if you want good battery life and a great processor id say go with a AMD Turion 64 Bit. Their the newest ones out their very nice and are great on battery life plus there 64 bit so their better then any intel CPU which is still 32 bit based. as far as Hard drive size id say go as big as you can for what ever amount of money you want to spend. the bigger the better. Speed isnt a big deal if your not a high end user. and Ram same thing go as high as you can today its recommended 512 atleast but. i wouldnt recommend anything under 1 gb and 2 gbs if you can manage. i hope it works out. anyquestions just write back and ill get back to you
