Hi, a friend of mine is desperately looking for a laptop recommendation please. The budget is $1300.

At this rate I know beggars can't be choosers but ideally he would like something that can do some level of video editing/processing, light room+ uni work ...etc.

What is the most grunt that you can help for 1300?

Any help would be appreciated.

Lenovo are a good brand, look at their website. I've found Toshiba good as well.

I recently purchased this and would recommend it:

http://www.globalpc.co.nz/Computers/Laptops/Asus/Product-Specification-LP00245.aspx

Core i5, 8GB RAM, SSD, 13" 1920x1080 touchscreen, thin and light.

Sign up for their mailing list to get a further 5% off, which takes it down to $1,329.

Thanks for the replies.

Currently tossing between the Toshiba Sattlite L55-C539 which is an i7 (quad core)

Only reason im looking at the HP notebook is because it has an external graphics card and faster ram

You can't really do video editing and lightroom on a 720p screen, no matter how powerful the CPU
