Laptop recommendations (video editing top priority)

CliffordStrange · 11-07-2009, 10:58 AM

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here.

My parents PC died recently, it was 10 years old but has had some modifications over the years.

But now they are looking to purchase a new laptop (my mum is quite keen on a laptop over a PC) and I said I would help them, however I am very far out of the loop of computer technology sadly.

Could anyone recommend a laptop/specs of a laptop that would be able to handle just simple web surfing, creating documents and most importantly the ability to upload video footage and burn it to DVD/CD's? Looking at a budget range of about £300-400.

My dad has never been able to burn his camcorder footage easily onto a DVD and that is his main wish for the next PC/laptop.

Any adice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
