Hi everyone

I already have 3 computers, don't PLAY games but do adobe premiere video editing, no special effects, simple timeine and cut and titles.

I will now start to move around to give some lectures and maybe with video projection, so I'm thinking a lot about connectivity and battery life.

I might do some video editing as well.... so firewire is important but I can get it with a pci card I think.

I've found that DEVOTED video card is better, but expensive.

I've found a second hand Dell 620 with a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M for around $500

would it be better than a new Lenovo / Dell with a LAPTOP Intel GMA X4500 card

Anew lenovo/Dell with devoted video card is around $1000

Do I need more POWER for my use?
And I'm looking for a widescreen model also


What do you think?
Thanks

GuyThe X4500 is equal to or better than the low-end NVS110M.
I don't do video editing so not sure of the exact requirements, but I'd think you might WANT soemthing with some more grunt.
Problem is, the more powerful a laptop is, the less battery life you'll get, and the less portable it will be.
