I'm new to video editing and am looking for a laptop that can handle Adobe CC without the stutters. I'm typically recording 1080p but may step up to 4K from time to time. Mostly underwater footage for home use.
I've found a Lenovo Legion Y520 that may fit the bill but wanted some educated opinions:
Intel Core i7 w/16GB
NVIDIA Ge Force GTX1050Ti w/4GB
2.0 TB HDD + 256GB SSD
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
Well here is what I would order if I were to buy if it was to be Lenovo Y520 family
Lenovo Y520-15IKBM
Part Number: 80YYCTO1WW
Sale Price: $1,399.99
A slight step up CPU, GPU and PCIe M.2 SSD from my current laptop but I do have 24 GB of RAM and two SATA III SSD's

Which i7?
You will need to at least double the RAM.
Plan on using proxies.
The HDD is only a 5400 RPM drive, so plan on replacing it. The PCie SSD alone may not be fast enough.
Also plan on using it with the power adapter plugged in, as the processor will be throttled back if on battery.

Thanks. It looks like a good starting point to get me in the game cheap(ish) and then I can boost the RAM and SSDs later.
