what kind of video card ?
 
Intel GMA 4500M Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0
 
Dell Studio 1570 and its amazing! i5 is the way to go with about 6 gigs of ram your flying.
 
The Intel GMA video chipset probably won't be sufficient to do video mixing, as it's a chip on the motherboard and not a dedicated graphics card. It is limited in memory compared to a dedicated video card. I run VDJ on a Dell Studio 1558 with i5 processor, 4gb of RAM and a video card with 1gb on it. Works like a charm.

The laptop you showed will do the music part of VDJ, but I doubt whether it will have sufficient specs to do video mixing at the same time on it.
 
Thanks guys for that info I really need a new Laptop quick but rather than buying something just for the sake of quikness I thought id post here first that way any pitfalls. ie unsatisfactory video cards can be dodged

Thanks again
Kev
