Laptop question to techy people

[MrsKellyPierce]

I'm gonna be buying a new laptop soon

I need one for fast HD camming and for multimedia editing

Besides MAC - a lot of cam sites aren't compatible with Mac

What would be great lap top...

I saw that the HP envy has awesome reviews/awards

Also has awesome specs

I would prefer a 17 inch monitor

Any suggestions

Not sure if I qualify as tecchy but I was at Best Buy the other day and the Lenovo brand really appealed to me. Seems that they give you a lot for the money you pay. The hard drives are 500GB + and the screens were big, plenty of RAM, etc. And it must have been 700$ CAD +tax. I have a mac with half the specs and it cost me well over 1500.

Googling now

My suggestion is to stick with a brand you've heard of and has higher specs than you actually need so that it doesn't become redundant quickly. If you're happy with HP then go with them.

If you're buying a Windows machine, Lenovo is a good option. They make some of the better laptops out there.

What editing suite are you using for your media?

I'm not really a fan of my HP laptop

But I just saw that the envy had a lot of good reviews etc

My webcam on my laptop now isn't HD I use an attachment cam

What about Gateway?

Lenovo looks like outstanding value.
But when I got my Toshiba laptop 4 years ago I needed a buddy to come by and set it up. Are these things a little easier to start using when you get them home?

Avoid Gateway at all costs: 10 years ago their machines were great - now they have reliability issues
