Tópico: Is this laptop ok for doing videos?

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

I hate to ask this question but the last one I asked about and almost bought had two video cards in and would have not been good for VDJ and videos.

laptop is installed with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 Graphic card 512 VRAM GDDR5. Graphic card speed- GPU clock 750 MHz and Memory Clock 800 MHz.

Price seems ok at 750.00 but I think the screen is a bit small. Not sure tho.

I don't do video much but that would probably get the job done - I think most folks look for at least 1GB of Ram with the graphics card and for me I would like a little more screen real estate to have a full VDJ skin and decent size video window. Here is an alternative I found at the same price point that has a significantly better video card and a better screen. The CPU is ever so slightly less powerful but not to the point that you would notice.

The CPU has the same windows score of 6.9 as your original post. and the super Pi benchmark score is 753 vs 750 so basically identical.

The GRaphics cards when compared using 3D mark 2003 standard are not even close The original rig scored a 9,532 the alternative I have suggested scored 20,899

The alternative I have suggested is bulkier and heavier but the screen is larger and has more pixels 1600 x 900 vs 1368 x 788 which for me makes a huge difference.
 
That laptop is good for music videos. Even though it comes with 4 gigs of ram, i would max it out to 8 gigs and you will be fine Playing HD music videos.
 
Thanks Jbart19. I'll have to check it out. I am however, more partial to Asus.
 
simple answer, yes

longer answer, definitley..
 
We all have our favorites, The one you posted, as others have said will be fine, I just try to point out options people might have missed when comparison shopping whenever this topic comes up. Good luck with all your future VDJ adventures.
 
ur right jbart19, i was thinking the same thing about the screen size. thanks for pointing that out.
