New laptop

[BockCode]

I am looking for some help on getting a new laptop, i will be using for doing a lot of video editing, and i am starting college for a computer science major so i will need something that can handle the programs they run for the course.

I will be using:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5: Video editing software | Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5

For editing.

I was looking at this one: Newegg.com - MSI GT683R-242US Notebook Intel Core i7 2630QM(2.00GHz) 15.6" 12GB Memory 1TB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M

But it is a little over my price range.

What is your budget? around 1K?

Uh, around $1200

I'm quite sure you don't need 16GB RAM for video editing. Video editing depends on more of the graphic card and CPU.

Look at this one: Newegg.com - ASUS G Series G73SW-XN2 Notebook Intel Core i7 2630QM(2.00GHz) 17.3" 8GB Memory DDR3 1333 500GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M

And i am guessing that would be able to run Dual monitors? and is there anyway to run 3 monitors off of it?

Any laptop of the last 5 years (maybe earlier?) can run dual monitors. It has VGA and HDMI out. You can use both at the same time.
