Best for videoediting?

Hi!
I'm hoping to buy my first vaio laptop in a couple of weeks!
I don't know which model though.... maybe you can help me??

I am mostly just going to do the "normal" stuff, write, listen to music, surf the web... but I also want to be able to do some videoediting. Probably with Adobe premier pro since avid xpress isn't compatible with vista yet.

I am video editing w/ my SZ640 successfully with Womble's editor. Womble might be different than your other choices for as I use a Hard Drive based Camcorder that provides MPEG2 files that Womble doesn't have to encode prior to making a DVD.

I upgraded my Hard Drive to a WD 320 that gave me a big performance gains. Also switched to XP Pro at the same time, found to many odd programs that were not supported in Vista.

 

On the glossy screen I have found it surprisingly delightful, except for if you plan to use under direct sunlight.
