Looking for high spec laptop for photo\video editing/website Design?

Hi, for editting videos I recommend to buy licensed because are better than the Free. For example I installed Ubuntu Linux and I installed OpenShot from here: http://www.openshotvideo.com/ Open Shot is tottaly Free but hs not powerfull options like Adobe Premiere or Sony Movie Studio. I worked a lot with OpenShot but there are severeral times that the program closes and I lose my hours of work. So I decided to buy Adobe Premiere and Sony Movie Studio, Now I'm happy with both. Here I tell my story with each one:

Adobe Premiere Elements:

First off, I am no Spielberg, Howard, or Scorsese, I just need a good video editor that's more advanced than Windows Movie Maker. My only prior experience involves iMovie which I've used for the past five years as the need arose. I'm not the biggest fan of iMovie, not to mention I don't own a Mac (I was using a public Mac I have access to). I've recently taken on a project which requires me to edit and post video to YouTube, so being able to edit video in the comfort of my home was the driving factor in this purchase, not to mention that I didn't want to purchase another computer and/or switch platforms.

After install, which was very simple, I found PE10 to be intuitive and relatively easy to use though I'm sure if I had come into this without any video editing experience, I would have a different take. It took me about an hour to become comfortable working with it, and I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do. My typical use involves importing AVCHD files, editing the video adding transitions and titles, cutting out some extraneous scenes, adding audio and video fades, and then exporting the video. That's really about all I need at this point, nothing too fancy yet. It's handled what I throw at it easily and flawlessly and renders the 40 minute hd videos I'm creating in about an hour on the machine I'm using.

If I had it to do over, I'd probably take a harder look at Sony Vegas Movie Studio since it seems to have a ton more features (which I don't need yet). It seems to have a steeper learning curve and like I said, my needs are relatively simple right now. Plus I'd rather wait for the next version which will hopefully have 64-bit support.

Sony Creative Software Movie Studio HD Platinum:

Sony Vegas is arguably the best bang for your buck video editing software on the market today. While the learning curve can be a little steep and it has some limitations, overall it's a fantastic package that hits the spot for most amateur video editing endeavors. I've tried a whole bunch of programs and this one seems to be the best value for money - especially once you take the time to learn it properly.

Sony has 4 different versions of the Vegas software suite, ranging from the low end Studio HD to the high end Pro. The HD Platinum version sits somewhere in the middle and offers most of the features that you'd require for a range of different projects. Most users won't require the features offered in the Pro version (though sometimes I wish some of them were available as paid plugins for HD Platinum).

It's got some fantastic features like automatic splitting between video and sound, quick video splitting with the press of a button, lots of effects including the ability to use a 'green screen' effect, easy sound/image fading, text effects, slow motion, credits, drag/drop clips, export to YouTube, layers, etc. It really does have most of the tools that you'll require to create some kick *** movies, quickly and efficiently. It's also got fantastic help and tutorials. Plus there are lots of YouTube tutorials too. Over all, it's a fantastic piece of software for the price which I highly recommend!

Get a MacBook Pro. It will be easy to get used to.

Also, Mac computers are used by tons of media professionals. Many PC applications are also available for Mac.

Also, some of the best video editing software in the industry is on Mac

Please get Dell Precision M4600. Its a real ISV certified laptop which is certified for professionals. The specs dont get higher than this. You can compare the macbook pro to it. The M4600 will win hands down in any condition.

Specs:

I7-2960XM (extreme Edition)

32GB of 1333mhz RAM

512GB5 X_SATA3SS hard drive

Quadro 2000m graphics card

Windows 7 ultimate

1920x1080p ultrasharp monitor.

I would love to go for specs. but the you've left out one part - the PRICE! Overall Dell is considered the most affordable for normal users, that why the market there are huge here. I won't go for designs, although there's an attraction but it won't last for my usage/work and durability of bringing it around. So my answer is - specs & price.

A good website design takes into reason graphics, content, functionality, location of elements and well-researched use of color. Uncomplicatedness in design allows a user to focus on the important aspects of the website, such as its message, usability, functionality and the end result of meeting the objective of the website owner in terms of conversion.
