I am a videographer looking to upgrade my computer. I currently have a Toshiba Satellite A505 i7 . It has been great so far, but as I am upgrading my cameras, I am seeing the need for something that can handle some of the bigger files.

I only have around $600-$1000 to spend. Am I better off looking for a laptop that will be fast enough, or trying to build a desktop? Not sure if I can get the right parts and peripherals for a desktop for under $1000 that would match a laptop on a good sale.


Thoughts?
 
Here is some laptops I came up with, hopefully opthers will chime in.

Configure this one with IC Diamond thermal paste, free 120GB M.2 SSD, & 16gb of ram.
