Right guys im in need of some advice!!!

im completely clueless when it comes to computers as far as im concerned as long as they turn on and i can get on the net im happy!!!

But ive just invested in a gopro as im cycling in the alpes later on in the year! now im looking for a laptop i can take with me so everyday i can dump all the footage and start making edits of the riding!

so what do i look for when buying a laptop thats going to be used for video storage,editing and rendering???

and any suggestions on makes/models etc welcome
