Wanting to get another. I want it for making programs and editing videos. Also need it to be a laptop. Been looking at an i5 processor. Anyone know what would be good for a college student price of $400.00. I am new to video editing so I am working off what you guys tell me, I know what i need far as developing programs go.

the cpu meets the minimum spec for the card, but your on-board video is another story. Getting anything decent for $400 is a bit of a stretch.

So what would you suggest for me. Being how i am on a small budget, would 500 or 600 be a better kick
