Hi,

I have been researching around the internett for days trying to find a suitable laptop for editing video. It`s a jungle of info out there, but I found this one and I was wondering if any of you guys could tell me if this computer will be able to play and edit my FS7 4k XAVC-I 4k footage with relative ease, or do you see any obvious bottlenecks?

- 17.3" QHD-screen 120Hz med G-Sync og GeForce GTX 1080 8GB

- Intel Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz-4.7GHz, 12MB, 6 cores/12 tråder, 95W, overklokkbar

- 64GB (4x 16GB) DDR4 2400MHz

- Samsung 960 EVO 500GB SSD NVMe PCIe M.2

- Samsung 960 PRO 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2

- 2TB SSHD 2.5" 5400rpm (Raskere enn vanlige 7200rpm)*

- 2TB SSHD 2.5" 5400rpm (Raskere enn vanlige 7200rpm)*

Thank you!

Wow what a powerful laptop!

If you properly tune that computer for editing and of course operate it with AC power it should handle anything you throw at it.

Thanks! Yes, I hope so. And by properly tuning you mean disk setup, with project files, media, and cache on separate discs? Any other important things to keep in mind?

No that disk setup is obsolete.  Do not us any hard disk drives for any editing functions they can be used for backup and archiving.  OS/Applicationson the smaller SSD and all your project files on the second SSD.  If you get immense files and do feature films you might want to remove on of thos hard disk drives and put one SATA III SSD for your cache files

Tuning means minimizing processes and programs the steal CPU cycles.  Run my Premiere Pro BenchMark and Submit the results and we can see now your CPU, GPU and storage are doing for you.

Thank you, I will try out the benchmark!
