Newegg has a good deal on this laptop and it says it has 256 dedicated graphics card. I want to know do these specs cut it for video mixing with TCV? I have seen alot of post about video cards but it seems people keep suggesting the newest most fastest card but I cant turn around and keep buying the newest thing that comes out. I want to buy VirtualDJ but want to make sure I have a system that can handle it. Will this be suffice?

considering your comment about always buying the newest thing, i suggest to spec much higher. the spec here will just have you crawling for another machine after 6 months to 1 year which is hardly a good investment. spend more in the range for 2.4ghz processor and your laptop should last your 2 years. go for 7200rpm drives minimum as all pro video needs fast access drives. i'd also recommend looking at a machine that has 2 drives in raid 0 so you will never have seek/read problems. your video card should also be 512mb range as well.
