OT good HD video editing setup

I have a Toshiba Qosmio G50 laptop.
Duel core 2.26 Mhz, 4GB of ram and a Quad core video processor.
It has a windows index of 5.0
I bought this on the pretense of editing my HD home vids, but the laptop struggles at the highest resolution. Video comes out jerky.
Can anyone recommend a good hardware, whether laptop or desktop and good software setup to edit my video smoothly?
I don't want to spend loads and find the setup is poor.
I've tried lots of video packages to no avail
Alternatively if anyone knows how to speed my qosmio up I'd be grateful
Cheers Martin

What OS and editing software are you running?

Do you have the latest graphics drivers?... I know adobe premiere works best if you have proper open GL support...

Can you also change the settings in the editing software to help it render a bit easier?

I just think the lappy is not up to the processing

At work we only use MAC's.... same spec as a pc but will run faster.

A macbook will do what you want.

That hardware is on the limit of what Vista home can mange..

Vista home 32bit is limited to a maximum of 4gb of physical memory..

Vista home 64 bit is limited to a maximum of 8gb...

Personally.. I would build a PC using "recomedned" hardware... for about £600 you could build a quadcore machine with 8Gb of memory and some nice graphics cards to do the rendering...

See if you can get a copy of Windows 7. It won't let programs hog the processor as much so should be a bit more responsive.
