Laptop Reccomendation

C.O.Y.B.I.B

Hi ,

Does anyone have an opinion good or bad on these 3 laptops . Am also open to suggestions on others.
It'll be used for home browsing , photo editing , media streaming and video editing primarily , with some small amount of game playing as a bonus (not a deal breaker). I am very IT literate , but havent bought new hardware in a while and am goggle eyed looking through the various versions and reviews so any help appreciated. The first 2 come in about €550 and the last one is €650 (is it worth the extra ?)

I don't own or tried any of the 3 specific models you linked, anyway I would like to recommend you to stay on a discrete video card if you need some hardware acceleration for video/graphic/game related stuff to spare CPU.
If you are going to video editing, it may be a good idea investing a bit in a good external storage in order to have fast and wide storage media, while a SSD as main system's disk may help you in having a faster starting and more responsive (and shock proof) system, sacrificing a bit of bucks and of capacity.

Might be worth checking if they have a firewire port if you are transferring video from a dv-tape camcorder. (The Samsung doesn't I noticed)
