acer owns emachines. but yeah, they are the equivalent of an Asian dell. For 300, your getting a netbook which will not be good for video editing. For video editing you need to spend a pretty penny

Acer tends to fall apart a little. (e.g. non essential trim pieces have fallen off my Acer Aspire One D250)

bought an hp last week for 200€ (around 300$). Has Dualcore AMD 2,3ghz, 4gb ram, 320gb hdd and ati 4200, which is enough for the games you wanna play.

Avoid Acer like the plague. I work in a computer repairs shop, 90% of the machines we get in for repairs are Acer, they will last 2 years and then just fall apart

>>17263303 I have 1.5GB of RAM in my laptop and never end up using more than 500MB of it. But that's probably because I only use my laptop for web browsing/image viewing and do all my serious work on my desktop.

How slow is 1.5GB of Ram?
Like could you video edit it on it at all?

>>17263644 I think you could probably do some video editing with it, but if you're working with very long videos at a high resolution and with lots of effects, then you'd probably need 4GB.

Are there any laptops with no OS pre installed?

The Lenovo Thinkpad x120e is Under $400 with student pricing, and possibly a few percent off with an ecoupon (I ordered mine for $360ish). 6+ hour battery life, sturdy Thinkpad construction, fast hard drive, overall business-level laptop.

What's the difference between the first x120 and the other one?

>>17265950 Damn, I have $600 more to spend, but I can't find a good laptop that can game adequately. (TF2 Highest 60+, or Oblivion on Medium with 60+).
That has a great battery life. Damn it to hell.
