Hi! I'm planning to buy a new laptop for video editing, so I found a HP Laptop with this specs:

1.5GB Vram (Intel 4400 Graphics onboard)
8GB Ram
Intel i5 4th Gen (Dual Core 1.7ghz)

Is that laptop enough for video editing or. O?

None of the Intel HD graphics are discrete video cards. Even the best one has mediocre performance at best. They are intended for everyday normal tasks. Web browsing, watching videos, light gaming, etc. They are not intended for any type of 'power' activity like video editing. You can still do it, it will just take longer or not be as smooth when you are trying to manipulate things. Rendering and encoding will not go quickly.

AMD A8 comes in several variants, best available AMD APU has HD7660D I believe, this is not quite the same as a discrete GPU, but shares the same core technology as AMDs Radeon Mobility, 275M, 280M, etc.

Nvidia mobile GPUs would be like a GT740m or GTX860m. Only the last two numbers are very important and they...

Depends on what you are running and how you are using that. For just general use that most people do they won't even need a third of that and general light editing that is enough. If you are in to large project in Adobe or some other high end application you are going to want a dedicated graphics card.

As for buying a laptop just go business class with a Quadro or Fire pro for the better build quality and overall better features. I own roughly 30 laptops and I know quality when I see it but for "work" go with a Thinkpad.
