Hi Forum Members,

I need to update an ancient Nvida 650M laptop running CS6, which struggles with FHD

My anticipated workload is FHD keeping the CS6, but I anticipate having to upgrade to CC and 4k in the future.

Does anyone have any feedback on this option?

    You may be able to edit without proxies, depending upon the effects used, but if you use demanding effects like Lumetri, Neat Video, and some others, it may be difficult to spec out a laptop that won't need proxies.

    It looks OK to me.  You may need to use proxies for 4K.

    It won't be as fast on battery power as it will on line power.

    Thank you Peru Bob. Those are good points. What would it take to edit 4K without proxies?
