Would this this laptop be any good for Premiere CS6 and AE?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-Inspiron-17r-7720-Laptop-3-4ghz-i7-1TB-8GB-2GB-650m-Win-8-F ULL-HD-B-NEW-/290893870076?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item43baa033fc
Or will it be painfully slow?
Of course, I am aware that a laptop can not hope to equal desktop output. But since I am not satisfied with the price-performance ratio of current top end Nvidia cards, I have decided to wait for the release of Maxwell before assembling a new desktop rig.
In the interim, I'm considering getting a cheap laptop (for editing in bed ). This one seems to offer decent specs and good value at £700/ $1075. I would put a  7200rpm Seagate Barracuda in there.
Any opinions, please?

  • Are these specs any good for Premiere CS4?

    I have just bought Cs4 and it doesn't run very well on my computer that ran CS3 perfectly!
    Is this normal?
    So, I looked into upgrading my computer to these specs- can you give helpful suggestions please!
    PS I would like to run CS4 and Magic Bullet Looks
    MSI Neo P45 motherboard RAID
    Intel Core2Duo E8500 3.16 GHz CPU
    4 GB DDR2 800 Mhz RAM
    2x 1 TB Samsung 32 Mb cache Sata2 Raid stripe.
    LG GGW-H20L Blu-Ray writer
    Gigabyte GV-N95TOC Geforce 9500GT 1Gb Graphics
    Using your existing case, power supply and 32bit Vista. thanks scott!!!

    Your specs do look good enough, at least for DV. Working with DV footage should allow you to have smooth video.
    But people like me doing HDV work are having a lot of stutter/freeze problems. The Program window is giving this trouble on playback. You may see your Source window as able to play smoothly, but that is raw video and tech support confirms it processes video differently than for the Program window.
    CS4 lacks a switch that CS3 had to select whether to use GPU acceleration. According to phone tech support, that is trouble for a lot of people.
    Further, CS4 while trying to "automatically" decide if and how to use the GPU (graphics card processor), will not accept OpenGL 3.0. Ironically, the advice to me was to roll back to old drivers, that were 2.0 (or 2.1) compliant, as that would supposedly throw the "invisible switches" correctly inside PPro CS4.
    However, rolling back did not help me. I also have RAID 0, but I have a single core 3.8 GHz processor, so my problems are acute, and CS4 is unusable for me.
    Even people with Quad cores are having playback stutter problems (I think usually mostly with HDV).
    That's incredible!! What was Adobe thinking when they released this software with such a performance slowdown compared to CS3?

    This new update for the iPhone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5 or all. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are having trouble.

    iOS 6 can be loaded without problem on the 3GS.  Not all features are supported however.
    With respect to your reading people are having trouble, what did you expect to see on this technical support forum?  People don't write in to state they have a trouble-free upgrade.

  • Comic Life?  Any good for photos?

    Found this on my iMac and I wondered if it's any good for making photo montages?
    I use an online lab for photos so wondered if the files it creates would be good enough for uploading for poster prints (some up to 30"x20")?
    Any users know?

    No, Comic Life is only good for making comics, it can't make any montages. As of today I deleted it, seeing as I won't make any comics on it. Also, it can't make poster prints because of the way the printing would turn out (think a lot of colored dots with no real picture).
    So in short, deleting it would not harm anything, nor hinder anything. Just save up some space.

    No, installing Photoshop alone would do, that would also install Bridge on your computer.  But you do have to download the whole-suite download to install Photoshop from it.  The individual Photoshop download will never accept your suite serial number.
    Incidentally, the "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types.  The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
    The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

    All such products are either worthless or outright scams. Avoid them. TTP is frequently cited as the cause of various problems reported on this site.

  • Is Virus Barrier x6 any good for virus protection/

    Is Virus barrier x6 any good for virus protection?

    I have never used it personally.  I have seen people here having kernel panics, and removing VB cured the problem.  But then, that's not good data, because I don't know how many people might be using it with no problems, and why those kernel panics might be occurring.
    To help you decide whether you want to use AV software, and how to protect yourself even if you do install AV software (which cannot guarantee protection), see my Mac Malware Guide.

  • Would I have to face any difficulty for servicing in India if I purchase my macBook from Germany?

    I shall be staying in Germany for a duration of 3 months during this summer where I wish to purchase an Apple MacBook Air/Pro. As customization is not possible in India, I would like to purchase it from there. In case I have any issue with my mac in India after I purchase it from Germany, would I have to face any difficulty for servicing in India?

  • 24" iMac any good for games (compared to Mac Pro)

    Hi,
    I'm on my second Mac Pro and after no end of trouble so i'm hoping to exchange it for a 24" imac but i was wondering if it's any good for games?
    I would probably configure it with the 7600gt and maybe the 2.33ghz proccessor.
    My mac pro with the x1900xt ran Quake 4 and Doom3 etc at full stettings really well but i've just had to much trouble with it!

    The iMac would be fine for games for now, but you are stuck with the configuration that you purchase as there is no way (for now) to upgrade the video card.
    There is a thought that some OEMs might make an upgrade card, but as of now there are none.
    The big advantage of the Mac Pro is that it has the PCI-express video card that you can remove the stock card from and add a newer, better card.

    My wife and I both have MacBooks (I have MacBook Pro and she has Air) and both are associated with my apple ID since I bought them. However, this means that Safari is linked for both her and I as well as our contacts etc. Can I still use mine ID for apps for her but associate hers with her own ID that I have yet to make?

    Well with the MS Hotmail/Outlook.com account that is hard. But she should be able to link all of it to the iCloud system using her Apple ID.
    I suggest you do a Google search for "link contacts, Calendars, iMessage with iCloud".
    For some stupid reason MS has limited the syncing/linking of only emails and Notes with the Hotmail/Live Mail/Outlook.com system.
    They have not included any Exchange features for syncing all that info. That is unless you are using Outlook 2013 and that is only for Windows.

  • On board 7.1 sound any good for nongamer into movies

    I am seeing so much about problems with Creative card drivers etc. Does one really need dedicated sound card?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Yes. You can go into Windows Audio Properties, select speakers (if you are using analog) and choose how you want it setup up. If it's Realtek, you can go into Control Panel (icon view) open the Realtek HD Audio Manager and even tweak the individual volume adjustments for each speaker using the Room Correction feature.

  • I downloaded mountain lion on my laptop.  Do I need to do the same on my Desktop and iPad or is the one download good for all 3, and how do I do that if it is?

    I downloaded mountain lion on my laptop.  Do I need to do the same on my Desktop and iPad or is the one download good for all 3, and how do I do that if it is?

    If your desktop computer is one that supports Mountain Lion, you can either download it there or make a bootable jump drive with the installer on it -- assuming you haven't yet used the installer you downloaded to your laptop.
    As for the iPad, it doesn't use the same OS as the Macs do; it uses iOS versions, so Mountain Lion won't work there.
