First time visitor to this forum. I am a multi media trainer and am in the market for a laptop which I can edit HD and knock out DVDs during my breaks on location thus saving evenings at home for family.
I am sniffing around the new Acer Aspire Ethos 8951g (i7) which is getting decent reviews and has certainly got the internal oomph to do the job as I'd want to install Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 on board. The 18.4 inch 1920 x 1080 screen is also a big plus.
Big question is should i go for something like this or build one up from scratch. As a relative novice in computer component speak I found myself doing a lot of guessing when I tried to build up a bespoke version on the pcspecialist website.
Any advice or guidance welcome. Thankyou for reading.
