Laptop for video editing with Canon 7D\5D mark II?

Question

IIS

Good evening!
Recently, the shooting has been long and not at home, so we are looking for a true friend who will store all the material and allow us to edit it in real time (in other words, playback of the project without lags).
1) Software: Adobe Premiere CS5 (it seems to understand the source formats from these DSLRs better than anyone else)
2) Amount: up to 100 tons , but the less, the better. Naturally, having bought a laptop for 100 tons, everything will fly, but I'm not going to do anything more complicated than what I wrote in the title, so I don't think that such waste is appropriate.
3) It is desirable to hear advice from those who tested it in practice and who are satisfied with the result, but theorists can also express their assumptions.
4) Just today I learned about CUDA technology in Premiere CS5, several Quadro and GeForce GTX 285 cards are officially supported, which excludes the possibility of finding a laptop that supports this technology, but this post talks about how you can cheat CS5, but here again you need people who have already done this and can definitely say that their card supports this technology and the increase is significant.

Answer 1

It is best to edit in Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD production format. Accordingly: either FinalCut or Avid Media Composer, if everything is clear with the first, then for Evid, Lenovo models of the W or T series showed themselves best. Cuda in no way speeds up the editing process itself, the real benefit is only for post-effects and color correction.

Answer 2

ASUS M60J seems to support CUDA out of the box.
It costs from 1500 USD, but somehow it is rather weak in terms of availability on sale

Answer 3

I would not store all the material on the laptop. At least - with a backup on an external reliable hard drive. It's one thing to rip saves in Oblivion during a hard crash, but rip through footage - well, you yourself understand perfectly.

Answer 4

practice: I have cuda in my laptop, I use the truth for [email protected], the performance is higher than that of the processor (c2d 2.2 GHz vs. gf 103m)
theory:
pay attention to these models:
from adequately priced:
samsung r590 (there different configurations, all are not bad, but you can take the top one with core i7 with your budget - a trifle :)
samsung q530
asus k52jc (look at i3 and i5)
from inadequate:
HP EliteBook 8540w modifications

Answer 5

It is better to abandon the idea of ​​​​mounting on a laptop. Kill the laptop, the result will always be lame. And most importantly, something will always be missing. Alternatively, if there is an assembly station at home, provide on / off. I just have a system unit on the balcony. Without monitor and peripherals. At the right time, through TeamViever, I cut and work. By the way, it is better to buy it, otherwise they will be tortured with gratitude. I summarize: Internet, client + access server, laptop, 1 square meter of a balcony, reminders about the prevention and cleaning of the system unit in the Google calendar. The price of the solution, if everything is already there, is a penny. If there is nothing, definitely less than 100,000 rubles.
