Help with choosing a laptop for video editing?

[vidds]

I would like to edit non-hd video in some program like Premeire elements, Cyberlink power director, sony vegas, or something else in this catagory. I need some recommendations in choosing a laptop. What would be the minimum requirements for smooth operation? Is $550 enough?

Would something like this be good?
DELL Inspiron M5030 (iM5030-2800B3D) Notebook
AMD Athlon II Dual-Core P360(2.30GHz)
4GB Memory DDR3 1333
ATI Radeon HD 4250

Here is the guide for your computer: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/insM5030/en/sg/sg_en.pdf (see page 74)
and the manual: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/insM5030/en/sm/index.htm

What you have is plenty for video editing. I have done video editing using an old Dell Dimension 4600. Your computer is much better than my old Dimension 4600.
