    Best PC editing laptop

    Posted by Mike Albertini on July 30, 2014 at 3:50 pm

    Hi,

    I’ve done lots of research on this but before i take the plunge I thought I’d just get some advice from people on here.

    My budget is £600 ($1015) and I need this laptop for editing promos, packages, music videos, short films, short docs etc using Avid and Premiere, After Effects and the rest of CC.

    The laptop I am on the verge of buying is the Asus N56VB.

    I think I would add another 8GB to bring it up to 16GB and swap the hard-drive for a SSD.

    I realise I have budget constraints but at the same time I don’t want to purchase a laptop which is incapable of performing the takes which I demand of it. (i.e. the processor speed is only 2.4GHz)

    Any feedback on this laptop or suggestions of alternatives would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    I just started using CC on a Dell with these specs. It works pretty well with multiple XDCAM streams running off or a Lacie rugged USB3 drive.
