I can't begin to list the 500 to 1000 dollar models. Since you want to edit video how about the one my son has? It's the Asus at link.

It's currently a little over 1K but has ranged in price from 980 to 1100.
There is no laptop I know that edits video well and gets more than a few hours on battery. You have to pick power or battery time.
I think it's much lighter than our older model Asus which was 7.3 pounds.
This one is 5.6 pounds.
Hello everyone, I'm a student in indonesia who is planning to go travelling sometime within the next few weeks. My current laptop is a 3 year old 17 inch screen notebook, and due to the size and weight I am unable to bring it with me. I am looking for something in the 500-1000 USD price range, though I am willing to go a bit over. I will be using it for quite a lot of writing and video editing. A few properties that I am looking for include:
- Fast Boot and Shut Down
- Long Battery Life
- Lightweight
Thank you kindly for your help.
