Default What is your opinion of this Laptop...?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834115398

Is this the best buy of about $1k usd with XP?

I am trying to run a video editing software called Studio 10. Thank You, Pedro!

You actually usually end up paying more for a smaller screen,

that one is a much better deal but has Vista, personally, if you want XP, id get something like I showed above, and downgrade to XP Pro.

i had considered downgrading, but i hear there are problems with the hardware and drivers...

From the link below, which laptop would be best for me to be able to edit video with studio 10?

those are all the XP drivers for that laptop I recommended, however, I would not recommend any of those laptops due to the integrated graphics and low RAM.
