Hi all, this board looks great, so looking for opinions. Here's our workflow in a nutshell, will this laptop cut it?
1-Shoot with Sony XDCAM HD in SD (standard def DV25) for now.
2-Use Edius Broadcast to edit on Dell Precision M90 (specs below) in the field.
3-Export finished file over a LAN to a server, or FTP files back through internet.
M90 specs: Intel CoreDuo 1.83Ghz, 633MHZ bus I believe, 1GB RAM, and NVidia Quadro xd(?) 256MB, 80G HDD, 17" WXGA widescreen LCD
Edius specs for HDV list a dual core Intel 2.8GHZ, however we are a news station and don't plan on any serious effects besides a dissolve or wipe here and there. Possibly a face blur. Our stories won't be longer than 2 minutes long each file. Will this laptop cut it do you think? We'd of course love to use the same laptop for HD when we make our switchover or at least use it as a backup/spare.
Thanks in advance,
hr
