(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've read the thread thats about some guy going to college below with a price limit of $2,000 i have no price limit (parent's have made me use a laptop for 4 years which barely works ) so they're letting me run free with it.

preferably want windows not os, can be customized however with anything and everything.
Im mainly using it for fb,msn,internet,editing vids and pics and d'ling things.
i'm looking atm but i dont know loads about computers. i live in the u.k if that changes anything

Really you dont need a expensive pc then. And what does this mean preferably want windows not os. Do you want windows or not? Now if you wanted one for gaming that would be a different story.

Try looking at Asus, Gateway, HP. They make some decent laptops. Editing software is easy to obtain without paying so you can get Sony Vegas easy full(well thats what most people use)

Let me know some more info and I could give you some links

thanks
its actually for my gf, but i thought posting it for me would be easier
but they're mega rich and they want something long lasting.
she DOES want windows she's decided!
they're big fan's of Dell's so i've been browsing the Dell site and picked out the Dell Studio 17, i also customized it alot so its near enough the best it can on the site.
