You're welcome to leave, Reddit.

If you want a video editing laptop but for cheap, then what you're looking for is a "normal laptop".

Premiere pro vs final cut pro?

Laptops were never designed for video this.

Every laptop thermal throttles massively once it begins rendering. You are spending thousands of dollars to receive the same performance as a $300 desktop, I shit you not.

FCP 7

Everything else is shit.

I love you.
I learned editing on fcp7 and then apple f*cked their brain out somehow.
I now use premiere cs6 on my Windows install, and kdenlive in ubuntu.

But lugging a $300 desktop around in the shooting locations so the boss can get his rushes nice and early is not a possibility. Just the monitor would be enough to kill it.

>>57487516

No.

>>57487453
Essentially the same but I prefer Premier

Back in the day Macbook Pros had Xeons and ECC RAM, they used to be targetted for the professional market.

Nowadays for editing you're just going to end up looking for pseudo-gaming laptops because they're the only ones pushing the specs for high end editing.

It blows.

>Back in the day Macbook Pros had Xeons and ECC RAM
Uh, no. Mobile Xeons didn't even exist until this year.

>>57487453

Very similar but I prefer Premiere because Apple is basically giving up on FCP so it's legacy eventually.

Been using the "steam powered" Sony studio movie maker. Cost me $30.

>>57487321
Fine, what about the cheapest/best laptop for music production?

>>57490256
thinkpad w700ds

>>57489292

Name one that doesn't instantly hit 99c and thermal throttle while rendering WITHOUT setting a maximum CPU utilisation for the rendering process to avoid thermal throttling.

There's never been a laptop that didn't thermal throttle. Every review with rendering included they thermal throttle.

>>57490304
Nigga this is a laptop from 2009

>>57486911
Why not an elitebook or latitude?

>>57490452
Can you be more specific than that?

>>57489188
Any $300 dollar desktop or should I search around?

Elitebook 8560p?

It doesn't throttle at all because it's got a good cooling system and aluminum chassis to help dissipate internal heat. Only issue is that it's sandy bridge, but it's quite cheap and still performs rather well.

Consider you only said best or cheapest in the op, I'd think this is a nice option for you. Check your local eBay for prices.

>>57487516
Go to pcpart picker and build a $300 desktop that will perform competitively against a $3000 laptop, if you can.

How the fuck has no one mentioned Sony Vegas (now magix vegas thank fucking god)
It's hands down the best one and Vegas 14 fixes all major bugs

>>57490647
>How the fuck has no one mentioned Sony Vegas

Because it's a joke of a software that only still exists because of children on their youtube lets play channels being used to it and refusing to switch to a proper software like FCP or Premiere.

>>57490647

>Using Sony Vegas any year past 2008

So how is your Minecraft channel going?

What's the best free video editing software for Windows?

>>57490613
Thank you, but I won't be getting this.

>>57487453
Premiere is shit unless you have AE with it

this has an msrp of USD$999, you could probably find it on sale on amazon or newegg for $900 or $800 come black friday.

My girlfriend and I use MSI laptops so I'm a little biased towards them since I haven't had any issues with them and use them for music production, image editing, and playing video games. be wary though, rumor has it gtx 1050 laptops will be coming out soon that would offer better battery life for the same performance if you use Afterburner and downclock the gpu. I don't know what the price difference will be though, since laptops with gtx 1060s cost anywhere from USD$1300 to USD$1800

>>57490854
also, this laptop has a free M.2 slot for SSDs. Forgot to mention, which is silly of me because it's a deciding factor on whether or not I personally would get the laptop

>>57490304
>Dual Screen meme
end this

>>57490854
>HDD
Is it really worth it?

>>57490715

Premiere

>>57490966
it wouldn't be except for >>57490904
these laptops are easy to open up and install your own ssd to use alongside the hdd

>>57490715
Shortcut

if not pirate Vegas and call it a day

>>57491178
Wouldn't the HDD still slow it down?

>>57487453
premire does more but FCP is bitchin' fast

Why is it so hard to find a laptop??? I'm just looking for something cheap with a 1920x1080 screen and at least 256GB SSD, though 512GB would be great.

>>57490419
No laptop I've ever owned has thermal throttled.

>>57491354
>cheap
>256GB SSD

oh no

it's retarded

>>57491395
was being rude necessary

>>57491291
I don't know how you use computers but typically i use the SSD for system files/program files and store media/documents/games on the HDD. it might be slow to download the bulk of your music collection onto the HDD all at once but pulling individual files wouldn't be if programs and the system operate mainly off the SSD

>>57491487

OP is asking for video editing. Any editor worth their salt scratches to a super fast drive like an SSD, M.2 or RAM disk.

>>57491487
I don't know how I use computers either.
I've had 2 laptops and I'm pretty sure both had just an SSD, maybe the first had an HDD because it broke when it fell on the floor.

>>57491533
I'm a dumbass and I haven't edited anything before.
I suppose I should just wait to eventually get a desktop for video editing/music production.
I just need a regular laptop right now. Preferably with an SSD, HD screen, that isn't a touchscreen or 2-1.
I just want to a computer with a nice screen that can get loud, and handle a lot of tabs.

>>57491608
>I suppose I should just wait to eventually get a desktop for video editing/music production.

Yes, you really should. Music is doable on a laptop (unless you're running 600 tracks with 20 VSTs on each of them) but video editing is just never going to the greatest experience unless you're going for one of those $4000 desktop replacement laptops with near desktop tier specs.

>>57491626
Final Cut Pro is pretty good on a laptop.

Ctrl + F DaVinci Resolve
Nothing found
Come on, guys

>>57491644

By what standards? Edit some 4K video on it, have fun rendering at 0.042 FPS

>>57491656
>Edit some 4K video on it, have fun rendering at 0.042 FPS
I don't edit 4k, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.
