Topic: Laptop Suggetions for running VDJ 7 and videos

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.



Hey Folks,

I'm looking to buy another laptop to ease into Windows 7 and mainly to start spinning video with it and I'm wondering if this Toshiba is a good choice:
I'm currently using a 3.5 year old Sony Vaio running windows vista.

a few features:
Product Features

For multitasking power, expandable to 8GB.
# 500GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 rpm)
For fast read/write times.
# Intel® HD graphics
Feature up to 1696MB total available video memory for lush images. HDMI output for flexible connectivity options.

Any Mac with 4G-RAM will do the job. I have Imac 20" and MacbookPro 13" (both with 4G-RAM)being used with Video-output and Timecode.

Rason why I switched to Mac?... I have 2 Toshiba laptops and they can't handle what I wanted for my set-up.
 

Yeah, I'm debating when to make that switch. It may be a year or so before I can afford a new one and dedicate it only to VDJ,
I'm looking possibly at buying a used 15.4 inch Macbook pro.
