Best laptop to meet High Definition(AVCHD) video editing system requirement

[Michelle Sheen]

I wish to purchase a laptop which is compatible with the other Sony products I own. I would also like the best laptop with the largest screen, blu ray RW, Full HD. I currently own:
(1)Sony High Definition handycam...flash memory (AVCHD) HDR-CX505VE
(2)Sony High Definition handycam on hard disk drive (AVCHD) HDR-XR550VE
(3)Sony video editing Vegas pro 9 £506.90
(4)Sony Vegas Movie editing Studio Platinum Pro Pack £93.90
I use these Sony products to edit large High Definition (AVCHD) video with lots of editing and effects, 30 minutes long. I'm looking for a laptop which meets the system requirements with my two Vegas Movie Editing Software's and it is compatible with my two Sony handycams (HD).
I have been looking at the Sony VAIO AW series VGN-AW31XY/Q £2,743 and was wondering if this would do, even though it has been discontinued? But a shop in London has one left. I already have a desktop computer which works fine with my Sony High Definition Handycams and editing software, but I really need a laptop for editing as well.
Please help


Best regards
Michelle
Ps I know lots about editing but not system requirements and specifications

if there is one fast enough to edit avchd then the battery would last an hour at most. a fast quad core cpu is needed. and i can't really imagine even trying to do any serious editing on a single 17 inch display. sorry i think the best you can do is LOOK like you're editing with a laptop.

ok so it's just my 2 cents...
