Thanks Bill,
I’m going to do some hunting for a new laptop then.
In your opinion then the i7 with 8GB RAM is a good place to start.
I am a firm believer in getting what you pay for so don’t have an issue w paying $900-$1500 to get my HD editing system up and running.

Thanks Bill,
my next question was going to be if there is a loptop out there that can efficiently handle HD AVCHD editing…what would people suggest, but you kind of went into that.
I’m not opposed to upgrading to a desktop system but I would prefer the laptop as all of my video footage is on the road and hunting and fishing related.
Like I said in my first post, I’m kind of an ameteur when it comes to talking about the specs of computer systems. I guess what would really help me out the most now is what are some minimum specs for a new system to be looking for ?
Thanks,
Trevor

With the thousands of AVCHD files I have already, I am assuming converting those to another file type would be quite the
pain in the @$$ ?

I am not opposed to getting a new computer to handle my HD video editing needs. Are you basically saying laptops are not the way to go for that. If so, could you suggest some requirements that would give me optimal performance for HD editing ?
Thanks
