First, my apologies for the double post. I first posted this in the laptop section but there is no one reading it let alone no answers after 3 days. It is really more of an overall system question anyway, I think. It's just that they are laptops...

My father is looking at getting a new laptop. He does a lot of video editing and encoding with his computer. Which of the following systems would be best for this.

He would like to keep the price point around $700.

Any assistance with this would be much appreciated.
