How to buy a laptop for video editing part 4

This part (part 4) of how to buy a laptop for video editing describes what happens when I edit a video on my laptop. This should give you some idea of what to look for when you are considering buying a laptop for video editing.

I also explain the brand and specification of the laptop and the brand and version of the video editing software that I’m using.

Specification of a laptop that is used for video editing

Ok, here’s the brand and specification of the laptop that I use for video editing.
It’s an ASUS laptop XL58L series with a dual core Pentium T3400 processor, 2 gig of memory and a 250 gig hard disk drive.

Here’s what happens when I’m video editing on this laptop

Here’s what happens when I open a previously saved project into Sony Vegas HD 10 video editing software in this laptop.
(the timeline for the project can be seen as a screenshot in part 1 of how to buy a laptop for video editing.)

My laptop and time and motion

It takes about 5 to 10 seconds for Vegas to find the project and get all of the media on the timeline.
Here’s what happens when I open another instance* of Vegas, work on it for a while and then re-open a previous instance of Vegas – the first instance above, for example,
Vegas re-opens the project immediately. However, it takes about 5 to 10 seconds for it to display the media for the project on the timeline.

My laptop and computer ‘crashes’

Vegas never ever ‘crashes’ or stops working on this laptop. I can and often do copy and paste video clips and media all over the timeline but it never ever crashes or stops working.
*An instance is another version, usually a previous version, of a project.
