I see that the format is H.264, which is the format you seem to refer to most often.  I don't have a clue what that means, but at least I recognize it as relavent to what I am trying to do.

Mike,

Rendering the Timeline (or parts of it), is a process of creating proxy files, just for playback. Rendering is used often, when one is doing, say Keyframed Effects on a Clip, to see those Effects as smoothly, as is possible.

Good luck,

I've been considering the 8600 http://www.adkvideoediting.com/laptop.asp

I spent a few months trying to define and then find a laptop focused on video editing.  I did not stumble across ADK.  I did find a series of ASUS laptops aimed at game players.  The specs matched what I wanted plus some extras I didn't expect.  B&H stocks several versions of what I bought.  You don't get to pick your specs like with ADK.  Instead you pick a pre-determined package.  The one I picked had a SSD and Blu-Ray burner.  6 months ago I paid about $1900.

Thanks for sharing these specs, they will be useful when "customizing" my latoptop with ADK, who I think I'll order from since they are so specialized and have really good support.  One thing I want, for sure, is a SSD.
