Most affordable laptop for 1080p realtime editing, color correcting, etc work

Does the color correcting have to be realtime or just the editing? Thats a big question. If CC doesnt have to be realtime, im pretty sure you'd be able to get away with using a <$500 laptop with the right NLE. What NLE are you using? And what will you be using for color grading?

Will do that all, but cost roundabout 2000 $ or more
I use it and I am satisfied.

A 950 dollar refurbished macbook pro is a great cheap option and then you could run premiere mac/pc or FCP... I dual boot so you have that as an option. It also comes with a firewire 800 port and a built in SD card reader so there's options...


not to start a mac/pc thing here.. but it's a good solid laptop for a really cheap price... I get a good solid 3 years out of everyone before they start to get shaky...

Agreed. Solid investment in a refurbished Macbook Pro (if you buy the latest or last generation model) will last you three years. My mid-2008 Macbook is starting to show signs of aging, my early 2010 mac mini can do more than it now with ease.
