Hello All,

I am looking for a somewhat budget-friendly video editing laptop. I am willing to go up to $1,500 but would prefer not to. Do any of you have any suggestions? I am looking for plug and play, I do not want to buy anything then immediately switch out GPU or add memory (if possible). I have a small agency and just hired my first person. I need something they can edit remotely on.

Thanks!!

Dave

If you are trying to do things on a budget, you may want to consider Premiere Elements instead.

The hardware requirements are a bit less demanding.

I posted this in another topic a few minutes ago.

I don't make movies, only videos up to about 15 minutes. I travel in an RV a lot so the choice is a "standard laptop", but "gamer" style. One was an ASUS Repuglic of Gamers. It died so I replaced it with a Lenevo Legion Y545. The Lenevo was $1100 at a big box store. It has an i7, 16 GB RAM, an Nvidia GPU, a 500 GB SSD and 1 TB HDD.

I have no trouble editing 4K in Premiere Pro or running any other Adobe software.

This one is similar, still under $1500, but better with a larger SSD.
