I need a new portable editing system. I'm using my brother's q6600 desktop with 3.5gb. I'm moving, so I can't hijack his system anymore. It'll be my primary system, so I still want something pretty fast, but it's gotta be portable. I'm looking at the hp dv7-2185dx. Really the only things holding me back are the screen resolution, ddr2 instead of ddr3, and lack of blu-ray (not really a big deal). I'm editing on sony vegas right now, and i'd like to switch to the 64 bit version. I'm also using hdv at the moment, but i'm saving up to buy something new by the end of the year (maybe a fixed-lens scarlet if it's available by then). What does everybody think? Good buy? Is there something better out there?
