Buying New Laptop – Video Editing
Hi all,
I’m not a techie so I’m interested in hearing from others who are.
I’m searching for a new laptop as my Toshiba is 10+ years old.
I want to do some video editing with the laptop, possibly using ShotCut.
I’m wondering if I can just use onboard graphics or if I’ll need a separate graphics card?
If I necessarily need a separate card, which manufacturer(s) (models) have you had the most success with?
Is there a way for me to ascertain if the proposed laptop works well with OpenGL 2.0 and that laptop also is compatible DirectX 9 or 11 drivers?
A friend using Linux Ubuntu shared they’ve had major issues with Nvidia graphics cards.
Would an AMD Radeon graphics card be best? If so, are there particular models of AMD Radeon I should look for?
I’ve also read that heat reduction of the CPU is important. How might I ascertain if a certain laptop includes good heat reduction?
Thanks so much.
