When you say "do anything with them" what do you mean and what would you suggest in this department in terms of power, hard drive, etc. Basically, I want to go the track the laptop and pull the video right off on Saturday night and Sunday night, then eventually put them on the desktop.
I was talking about as far as editing them, for just downloading them I'm not sure what the min requirements are. If you just want to unload them on the laptop so you don't have to buy several tapes I guess just about anything with 20GB could do that. Really the only suggestion I could offer is for you to post up something in your price range and we could tell you if that's a good by or not. Buying used is something of an art, some people are better at finding cheap/good deals than others. For brands I've been pretty happy with the Sony Viao's (after the OS is wiped out and reloaded) and the dells are pretty nice as well.
