planning to buy a new laptop with below requirements.

should be able to play AVCHD, MTS, M2TS formats and editing, burn dvd/blue ray dvd's out of the edited files.

to play/edit these files what graphics card (NVIDIA OR AMD) required.

also suggest the best video editing commercial softwares.

Does your current laptop have a dedicated graphics card & memory?

I would say the Lenovo to MSI difference would be night & day. :D

BTW, Are you still running the original HD in that ThinkPad?

yes, this is the first time I'm running the HD video on the think pad. but realized immediately that's a lousy one.
so landed up in this forum. How about a HP in 100$ range? OR MSI in $1000 range?

Do you plan on using an external burner for your blu-ray media?
