Will a standard external hard drive still work if...

I have a movie collection of around 600GB of HD 1080p movies and I like watching them on my laptop and so on.

If I put these movies on a standard external hard drive in the CAR and bring it with me and watch the movies off of it in the car will the hard drive survive or should I get a portable one?

Answer
1. A standard 3.5 inch external drive needs an external power source. So you would also need a power inverter.
2. As others have said. they don't take the bouncing around in the car too well.
3. You could just put a 500gig drive in your laptop and carry half your movies.

is this a good computer?

intel quad core...1.8ghz...4gb ram...600gm hard drive...i use the computer for extensive internet, videos, dvd, music, pictures, (all saved on a portable hard drive so that shouldnt affect it), downloading, word, ppt, etc...no gaming though

Answer
Perfect, and more then enough for what you use it for.
also that 600GB is pretty big. But like you said you have a portable HD that you save files on.

the 4GB RAM is very nice (although if you don't have a 64 bit system it will only use 3.5/4.0 RAM at once)

Intel Quad is pricey, but one of the best.
