Which computer is better for film editing?

Which computer do you recommend for film editing , the dell Inspiron 15-i5558-5718slv or HP 15-bs015dx

well, they are both much the same. The HP has a slightly better IGPU, so that might a bit of difference, and also a slightly better CPU. If i had a choice of both, I'd select the HP.

To be honest though, neither of them would be fantastic for editing. A desktop with more powerful CPU/GPU would serve you much better.

niether, they are both dual cores. but the HP is the faster of the 2.

slightly better CPU yes, though the DELL has a 1920x1080 screen. I'd rather have a 1080p screen when using any kind of editing software.

1366x768 would just suck for that.

what is the BUDGET? There may be a much better laptop for you.

Ideally you want:
4-core Intel (4th gen or newer), and
16GB system memory (may be able to add another 8GB stick, preferably IDENTICAL if it has only 8GB installed)
1920x1080 (or higher) resolution screen

SSD + HDD?
dGPU (i.e. NVidia 1050)

MERGED QUESTION
Question from jdrozreed : "Does the hp i5-7200 good for film editing?"

Do you recommend this laptop for film editing?

hp i5-7200 is not a model, that just the brand and cpu.

That's how much I know about computers. Could it be hp 15-bs015dx?

Generally speaking, a laptop with a Core i5-7200u CPU is good enough for video editing. After all, Macbook Pro laptops are pretty popular with content creators and that includes video editing; Macbook Pros typically have dual core i5 or i7 CPUs. Although, Macbook Pros tends to use higher end dual core i5 / i7 CPUs with slightly higher clockspeeds than what you would find in an

The HP 15-bs015dx has a 1366x768 resolution. That is a pretty low resolution for video editing especially if you want to edit 1080p video. I suppose it is good enough to edit 1080p video.

How about the dell Inspiron 15-i5558-5718slv? Would this one work better?
