(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Kinda need some help buying a laptop.

Not trying to spend too much, $400 at the most.
Don't want a mac or chrome bullshit.
Don't care about brand just don't want it to be Toshitba.
Built in bluetooth is highly wanted.
Touchscreen not a must but cool to have.
I'm using 266GB of my harddrive (1TB) right now so I guess 350 would be good enough.
Screensize doesn't matter.
Probably want at least 8GB of RAM.

I would be using it for music recording & editing, along with movie editing.
Obviously various browsing & multitasking things....

I found this one:

I just got a pre-amp for recording music, I do some softcore video editing from time to time. I multitask a lot.
I've been told SSD's are the way to go, but I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.

oh ok thats not too bad tbh but i would recommend get something with intel processor, maybe a i5 quadcore if possible with dedcation vram, but still the laptop you've posted can get the job done.

Thanks for the responses, I'm really interested in this whole SSD thing. I realize I'm going to have to spend more than I wanted but whatever let's just throw price out the window for a second.
This might be the most retarded thought ever, or the best one. If I were to get a new laptop with a built in SSD, is it possible to remove my HDD from my own laptop and make it external for my new one?
