Hi
I know there are loads of threads about laptops but I would appreciate some thoughts.
Teenage daughter wants a laptop for Christmas - will use it for homework and also video editing. It has been suggested that we get this: http://www.acerdirect.co.uk/Acer_V5-431_Silver_14_Laptop_Windows_8__NX.M2SEK.003/version.asp
But I am not sure if the processor is the best and I've read reviews that say the battery life is rubbish.
I was thinking about this: http://www.ebuyer.com/523540-hp-250-g1-laptop-h6e24ea-abu
or this: http://www.ebuyer.com/543489-asus-x550ca-laptop-x550ca-xo266h
Any thoughts?

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee."

However, Intel HD graphic could be a bit slow when video edit.
if u can afford, consider this
