Hi Guys,
Basically need some advice on a system and getting absolutely frustrated as well out of my depth.
My long term plan is to capture and edit wedding videos. The so called experts at PC World say I need a laptop with at least an i5 processor with a good graphics card. So they steered me to a nice £650 laptop.
I know I cant upgrade processor or graphics card in a laptop so Im thinking I would prefer a desktop and then I can get a nice big monitor. This is where it gets confusing and cant find any answers, hence I have come to you gents.
Can I get a basic desktop of say ebay and upgrade as and when? I know you can upgrade bits on a desktop. I dont want to fork out on a decent system if it doesnt work out.
How does a quad core compare to an i5?
Will be using pinnacle software with a full hd camcorder.
Really appreciate any help.
Thanks
Ian
