Laptop help, i3 vs i5

Hi guys,

 

So im on the verge of buying a new laptop. I use my laptop for at least 4 hours a day, just general use, with the exception of doing some HD video editing every now and then.

 

My current 4yr old laptop is cripplingly slow when using the video editing software, with it taking up to 6 hours to process a 15-minute video.

 

So, i've told myself that i should get an i5 powered laptop, with a minimum 4gb ram. However, does anyone have any first hand experience of doing video editing on an i3? The price difference is quite large (£250+ for an i3 vs £400+ for an i5).

 

Cheers

Chris.

Sod it, never mind - i've just bought a Dell Inspiron 15R i5-2450M with 4GB Ram for £340. :thumbs:

Yea an i5 will do the job better than an i3, depending on what your editing upping the RAM to 8GB will make it an even faster and smoother process.
