    I'm looking for some help. My laptop is mainly for some coding and making some home-videos for the family. I don't know too much about Intel HD graphics since I hardly touch them or if they really play that much of a role when it comes light video editing.

    It does help others if you tell what laptop you have then they could give better recommendation what you can do with your limits.

    I'm sorry for not mentioning. It is Dell Latitude 15 3000 Series

    I did a bit of video editing with a pentium that has this onboard GPU and I gotta say that the rendering times are terrible. Compared to an i7-6700, it's super slow and the Intel HD graphics is just an onboard GPU, so you won't be dealing much with it and most likely you won't be able to use 3d features on Photoshop with that since it has no dedicated RAM of its own.

    If you do video editing a more dedicate GPU with a iNtel i5 or higher is what you need. iNtel HD isn't the best for Video editing as that becomes a gpu intensive process. Remember iNtel HD is best left for non-intensive games like Minecraft but once you get to higher GPU usage it will not work. Also if you want a dedicated GPU expect to pay some $$ for this and more if you get one with both i5 or higher iNtel and a AMD/Nvidia dedicated GPU to improve your system performance response.

    I'd almost say an i7 for video editing and even fairly low end laptops are shipping with those now.

    Well, if OP already owns that laptop, I hardly see a reason to recommend him an i7 or a dGPU even if they are more powerful hardware. That's several hundred dollars to spend on what sounds like an occasional hobby:

    Now, if OP is more serious about video editing, then yeah, get the more powerful hardware. Though it sounds like OP's usecase would be fine with the given hardware. Just get up and make some tea while it's working.
