Photo and video editing laptop needed.

[Punky]

Basically what i need is a laptop that will do stuff mentioned above, like it was made for this. I'm asking if anyone would recommend a good laptop for that.

Oh and the configuration:

-atleast 8 gigs of ram

-atleast 15.6` screen

-1000 HDD built in

-external SSD 128gigs on USB 3.0 (ofc also usb 3.0 ports built in *logic*)

-ofc windows installed since it can't be illegal version

-good gpu (nvidia because its not a gaming laptop so it will do better) and cpu

-hdmi

 

Budget is around $1200

 

What I've found is

Sony Vaio F1532Z1E (Svf1532Z1Eb):

Intel Core i7-4500U
8 GB DDR3 1600Mhz
1TB HDD 5400 rpm.
15.5` 1080p screen
Nvidia GT 740M 2gb, Intel HD graphics 4400
hdmi, usb 2.0 + 3.0

but i don't know if this is a good shot and i'm still looking for a good external ssd

For the external SSD don't buy an external SSD. Buy a normal SATA SSD and buy an enclosure for it. If your PC has eSATA I would recommend using that instead of USB 3.0 as it is just plain better.

Hmm what about this

 

Notebook: Asus N550JK-CN113H (N550 Series)

Processor: Intel Core i7 4700HQ

Graphics Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M + Intel HD Graphics 4600

Display: 15.6 inch, 16:9, 1920x1080

750 gigs HDD 7200 rpm

8 GB, DDR3, 1600 MHz

 

Without ssd tho. I'm aware that my sister (I need to pick a laptop for her) will accidentally unplug the ssd w/ windows and boom all the work will go to hell = mad sister. So will the 7200 rpm hdd do the job properly with windows 8.1 as it seems as the best os for that kind of laptop (fast, doesn't use a lot of resources)

 

Note: Laptops with ssd built in usually cost way more and their components are bit worse and i can't pick sshd
