Has anyone here tried this one out? B&H always has great stuff.

B&H Photo PC Pro Workstation Lenovo ThinkPad/Adobe Premiere Pro

One point of caution - this package does not contain the CS5.5 Suite - AE, Photoshop, etc. so you would lose the very valuable Dynamic Link time saver. And of course you would not have these other very valuable tools.

The hardware looks very powerful though.

I think a lot of folks see the Premiere Package logo and assume it's the suite ...

However Quadro 1000M is not on the list of officially supported CUDA cards for Premiere Pro:

Tech specs | Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html)

So what? You can apply the 'hack' if it meets the 1 Gb and CUDA requirements.
