I'm looking to do some extensive traveling, backpacking style, and I need a laptop that I can carry with me on my back along with all my other clothes and stuff.
Can anyone recommend a laptop with enough power to process video? Windows only.
My current laptop is
Core i5 480M 2.67GHz
8GB RAM
256GB SSD
1920x1200
AMD HD5650
but it's a big 15 incher and a bit on the heavy side.
It processes decently but the AMD card is probably holding it back, right? I should try for a card with a nVidia card? Is there any hardware acceleration with AMD cards for processing? Or would it be equivalent to just having an integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 video card?
