Laptop good for video edditing under 650$?

[devinkoz]

I want a fast laptop that will be good for video editing (sony vegas pro 9&10). Should I look toward i5's? Such as 450m's? And for video editing and rendering, i dont neccesarily need to worry about having a nice gpu in the laptop, am I wrong?

I found a msi laptop on microcenter with 4gigs of ram and an i5 450m:

That's a great laptop but if you are going to do video editing/rendering,then consider a laptop with quad core CPU instead

Doesnt sony vegas use GPU acceleration?

I would look into a laptop with a discrete video

Vostro 3500 (310m nvidia) $665


HP ProBook 4520s $559
