I have specc'd a laptop that I want to buy and I'd like to see if anyone has any ideas or comments on it and possible upgraded downgrades. My needs are editing AVCHD files in premiere pro cs6 - there is nothing fancy, just cutting and a little colour correction. There will also be some multicam edits of two and three AVCHD cameras.
I currently have a desktop and a laptop, neither of which are very suited to video editing ( the laptop cant do any multicam and the desktop lags a little during multicam) and I want to get rid of them both and replace them with a good laptop. I travel a bit so a desktop doesn't really make much sense for me so no need to suggest one and I'm not interested in an iAnything either!!! Any comments appreciated.
Screen: 15.6" Matte Full HD IPS LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
Processor: Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4720HQ (2.60GHz, 3.5GHz Turbo)
Memory: 16GB KINGSTON SODIMM DDR3 1600MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970M - 3.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
OS - HDD: 240GB KINGSTON SSDNow M.2 2280, SATA 6Gb/s (550MB/R, 520MB/W
Data - HDD: 240GB KINGSTON V300 SSD, SATA 6 Gb (450MB/R, 450MB/W)
External DVD/BLU-RAY Drive: 8x Samsung Slim USB 2.0 External DVD-RW
Memory Card Reader: Integrated 6 in 1 Card Reader (SD /Mini SD/ SDHC / SDXC / MMC / RSMMC)
USB Options 4 x USB 3.0 PORTS (1 x POWERED, 1 e-SATA COMBINED)
The plan is to use the first SSD for programs and OS, the second SSD as a scratch disk and two external USB3.0 HDD's for footage and exports. I may upgrade the RAM to 32GB also down the line if required.
How does all this sound? Will it do what I ask? Would you change anything else?
