Hasta La Motion!

I am seriously getting into the whole vfx thing. I have watched tons of tutorials (video copilot) and I have After Effects on my computer.

I will generally be learning and practising everything for my own personal use, but who knows, if I get really good on it, I might look to go into as a career. I am really enjoying it.

I also have the Foundry’s Nuke X and 3DS Max.

I am thinking about buying all the video copilot prodcuts too.

However I really need some advice on my computer. I don’t even know what I am suppose to list to you guys. Really sorry but i would appreciate it if you could google it and tell me if my specs are good or not.

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A300 21H.

Can anyone tell me if this is good enough for what all these software programs and for stuff I want to be doing. I guess mainly After Effects stuff like what the video copilot guys do (but I would also like to learn a 3D software program and start using that.

Can my laptop handle it?

Can it handle all the video copilot products I am about to purchase?

If it is not good enough can I modify my laptop to be better? Increase its potential.

Or do I ‘NEED’ to buy a new laptop? I really don’t want to, but I would atleats like the advice on what to get and how much it will cost?

Just any and all info you can give me would be helpful. Thanks so much.
