New Laptop Spec - Photoshop and Video Editing

[massiveCoRbyn]

The hard drive in my laptop seems to have cried enough and, as it's old and pretty crap anyway, I think it's probably time to buy something new.

I've started to do a bit of video stuff recently, so I want something that can cope with video editing, and some Photoshop too, as I'd like to get back into doing that really.

Does anyone have any recommendations in terms of spec, or what to look for/avoid?

Something at the budget end please, as I'm tight and would rather spend money on cars than computers.

Definitely no expert (really...) but is a laptop definitely what you need?

From my computer days (10 years ago...) it was much much much cheaper to buy a PC than it was to buy a laptop of the same spec. Its a space issue mainly. If you can settle on a desktop as opposed to a laptop, you should get much more bang for your buck!

Needs to be a laptop, as I want to stay mobile.

Some of the cheaper end of gaming laptops will run those programmes.

Even my cheap £400 Dell laptop will run the latest Photoshop and Premiere Pro.

am after a laptop for photo and video editing for the drone stuff i do, so not making hour long videos. more like 30 second long clips etc... always had good experiences with dell and had a recent bad one with HP. after comparing a few dells, this looks good for the money...

very pleased with my purchase and there is a big difference between my old bottom of the range laptop, to this new middle of the range laptop

Photoshop isn't really the issue I suppose, as anything that will cope with video editing will cope with what I'm likely to do on PS I guess.
