You will definitely need something with a bit of "kick" to it. If it were me I would be looking for something that at least 2Gb’s of ram (preferably expandable to more), the biggest fastest hard drive I could find, something like a 100+ Gb 7200rpm SATA. A DVD-RW+- is a no brainer. I would MAKE SURE your video card does not share RAM, but has at least 128-256mb of it’s own video ram. and you will need firewire. Then from there pick the fastest processor your budget will allow. I’m partial to AMD’s but a mid-high range core duo should do you fine.
Other things to consider are things like battery life (the more cells the better), how heavy it is , built in wifi /bluetooth is pretty standard now but you’ll want that, and if you can spring for it I would even consider something that has a built in webcam and TV tuner.

I’ve always preferred Toshiba for laptops!

But you may want to look into Mac’s for multimedia. I’ve never owned one, so I cant say about those.

Hello:

Both DELL and Gateway have some pretty nice ones. You may end up needing a better model than the lower-end models, but both have good mid-priced models in the $700 to $800 US price range.

Cheers!

With what you need to do definately go for an Apple MacBook but get the one with DVD burner. It is what i have and they are brilliant with a fantastic screen. They may be a little more expensie but they are worth every cent. Go try one at an Apple seller.

Think about upgrading the one you have, more RAM, better graphics card, DVD burner and bigger(bigger the better, movies take a lot of space) hard drive , would work out cheaper and can be done quite easily.

Well this is kind of a loaded question…the best…go to Alienware/falcon Northwest or one of those guys that will supply you with one for a rather large sum…if you are looking for an update for the Vaio, just get a newer one…most laptops can be supplied with a DVD burner from the company that makes it, and most any reputable company will be fine.
