Hi Chaps I have recorded a few videos from work on my mobile which are about an hour long involving lots of talking about technical stuff - then uploaded to my laptop to watch again on VLC player Rather than me sit through and write everything down - is there any recommended software programs...

so I'm looking to purchase a new laptop for mainly university work. this would include Microsoft word PowerPoint and mainly just browsing the web. many University students tend to choose MacBook pros but I wanted to see what else is available on the market.
