Do not think of that suggested USB3 RAID solution as it is cumbersome, not as fast by any means as the single T3 and no real advantage this day and age, hard disk drives really should only be used for archiving and backup purposes.Īnother very important action is to tune the new computer and turn off all necessary processes so they do not steal CPU cycles and use valuable memory. (Actually mine came with that same drive and I immediately removed it and install the second SSD) but if you do not feel comfortable making that change go the Samsung T3 route to get started.
The first thing you should do it you get it is get your self a Samsung T3 portable USB 3 SSD because that 1 TB 5400RPM drive is useless for video editing. Now do not get me wrong not all 4K media will work smoothly. Your ASUS candidate has slightly better CPU not quite as much RAM and a better GPU than I do at a reasonable price.
I have to disagree with some of the above I have a three-year old laptop with an i7-4700HQ and 24 GB of RAM with two SSD's installed and am able to smoothly edit 4K 100Mbit/s XAVC-S and GoPro 4K media. Have you considered using Premiere's proxy workflow? This can also help, even if you get a new machine: Work offline using proxy media | You can also Google around to see what other people are doing to edit 4K on a budget. You have a limited budget for a heavy workflow, so there will be compromises. You just have to understand or read up on the requirements of editing 4K footage. A USB 3 RAID will be better for your footage. I would probably get 32 GB of RAM (but that laptop actually maxes out at 16 GB), and that GPU will be very helpful. The machine I linked to above is a powerful gaming laptop for a good price. I don't mean the size of your Program monitor, I mean the quality (Full, Half, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16). At the very least you shouldn't be viewing your 4K footage in full resolution if you're editing on a lower resolution monitor. The more compressed the footage is, the smaller the files will be, but the more computationally heavy it is to decode and play back smoothly. 4K requires a ton of bandwidth to edit, and your drive speed is a huge factor too.
