All of those laptops will be frustratingly and excruciatingly slow, I'm afraid. (As in they will take many, many minutes just to render even a few frames of video.) What's more, you need much more than 8GB of RAM and a much faster storage system just to even run the latest version of Premiere Pro, let alone the extremely hardware-intensive After Effects, well. Plus, as equipped none of those systems can run the later versions of Premiere Pro at all because it requires 8GB or more free, usable RAM just to even run at all. And the AMD A6 laptops have integrated on-CPU graphics that steal a portion of the installed RAM for themselves, leaving you with less than 8GB of free, usable RAM available at all to programs because the RAM that's used by the integrated graphics will then become completely unavailable to any software applications.

I have to agree with Randall's comments, even that last HP 8470 EliteBook with an i7 processor is only dual core and dates back to 2012, and the disk drives average performance was a lousy 85 MB/sec.  I found there were 21 models with the i7 but with the lack of specifics we could not check to see if the screen had enough resolution to run Premiere Pro.

@Bill Gehrke   Thanks a lot for the informative reply. Very helpful.

If I asked you once again, to recommend a laptop that I could use for video editing but I want you to consider that I cannot currently afford buying some expensive devices like mac book.

What devices a part from that are ok for the editing purpose???

I have been shopping for an hour or more to try to find a configuration that I considered in your cost range.  For less than $!000

it just does not seem possible for a new unit,  Now for a refurbished unit there may be some possibilities .  The only problem there is I can really only find them in the US.

Here is a typical candidate that I found ASUS Gl502vt-bsi7n27 15.6"/i7/12GB/1TB - BLINQ

The only problem with this is it has  a lousy 1TB 5400 rpm drive.  If yu were to acquire one like this I would replace the hard drivw with an SSD and then for a second drive buy a Samsung T3 or T5 portable USB 3 SSD and you would be in great shape.  Slightly better than my 3-year old laptop

i7-6700HQ 4-core (8-threads) 2.6 GHz Tuirbo to 3.6 GHz

GTX 970M

12GB RAM (could be urgraded to 16GB)

1920 x 1080 display

I think it actually has internal room for a second SSD

Dell Inspiron 15 7560 is a great laptop for beginners who are looking for a laptop for the purpose of video editing. It has Windows 10 with 8 or 16GB of RAM, 1TB SATA, and Nvidia GT 940 MX 2 GB or 4 GB. The display bezels are quite thin making it a great laptop providing an immersive experience. Dell Support Number +44-800-046-5288 is always up and running for any trouble related to dell products.

That's not a very good choice, either, largely because its CPU, despite being branded i7, has only two physical CPU cores. And no dual-core CPU, even with hyperthreading, performs as well as even a mediocre quad-core non-hyperthreadable Intel CPU that's three generations older.
