Laptop capabilities & recommendation...

Sasqui · 11-04-2009, 03:48 PM

Got this question from a friend:

"I’m thinking about getting my 12yr old daughter her own laptop for Christmas. She is really into making videos and editing them by putting several videos together and then putting music to them. I need to make sure the laptop can handle this. My laptop would always freeze up on her. Is there something “special” I should make sure the laptop has so she can do the videos/editing/etc.?"

So, out of the three, which is more important for what she wants to do?:

CPU processing power
Amount of memory
Graphics chip
