That should be an excellent machine. The one item you just need to check is the Gigabit Ethernet controller to make sure it supports Jumbo Packets (eg. Marvell Yukon). If it had the Intel NIC (which is the most efficient), it would have been considered a Centrino Pro. Although with the additional speed on the new architecture it is less of a factor today.
http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3694 We've had several customers use MacbookPro's under bootcamp. The newest models are now available with Santa Rosa 2.4GHz. The 17" models have 1920x1200 displays available. If you are looking for something very small the Fujitsu T4220 looks interesting: http://store.shopfujitsu.com/fpc/Eco...o?series=T4220 |

You must be looking at the preconfigured systems. Select "CUSTOMIZE" and you will see the T7700 processor option.
Another important point on configuring hardware, be sure to always get 2 memory sticks with 2GB or 4GB. |

Anyone on our behalf, anyone over there? Quote:
Short: monitor question's size resolution apart, is there better solution outside? If so, where is it? If not, will this Asus provide color correcting features over 2K or even over 1080p sides? Merci Last edited by Mathieu Kassovitz; June 18th, 2007 at 08:21 PM. |

I did a quick web search but could not find any details on the 10/100/1000 Network Interface Card or controller (NIC) for that model Asus. I suggest you contact the vendor directly.
I don't understand your question about the color correction. Please explain further... |

In order of good->to->bad: 1) Intel Gigabit Ethernet 2) Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet Adapters that won't work at all (will require you to purchase another third-party card with one of the above): 1) Broadcom 2) RealTek |

OK
Swapping cards . . . does it work on this laptop from ASUS? How much is it? Intel . . . Marvell Yukon . . . Such a wide price range: http://www.bizrate.com/nic/networkin...259--534-.html |

I would suggest this card:
http://www.addonics.com/products/hos.../adn1gex34.asp It uses the Marvell Yukon adapter. So far I haven't found any eXpressCard adapters that use Intel ethernet adapters. |

Mathieu-
Just an FYI. Our Dell M90 moble workstation has been extremely reliable for both capture, basic A-B editing and Speed Grade (no crashes, dropped frames, ect). The laptop body is extremely rigid and built like a tank so you can take it on location. Also, the 1920x1200-resolution screen is great for focus. -John |

Hi Mattieu,
Yes, that laptop will work for full 1080P editing in Premiere Pro. The resolution on the screen is a little low though for what I'd want for HD editing. The Addonics adapter is an expresscard adapter. It fits in the side of the laptop like the old cardbus cards. You will need this card for the gigabit ethernet connection. |

Merci John, Jason and Steve for your care.

Note to Steve: The Sager seems more interesting (the other one is overpriced). Can one or another (like the ASUS) be a better option? Will the Intel® Merom Core 2 Duo Processor T7700 2.4GHz 4MB 800FSB be enough? Or will an Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme Processor X6800 / 4MB L2 Cache, 2.93 GHz, 1066MHz FSB (with RAID 1 or RAID 0 or RAID 5) be THE definitive hardware add-on?

Hi Matthieu,
Faster is always better from a pure performance point of view. But do you want to be fast, or trade-off for mobile (and battery time)? If you're talking about recording and simple editing, a new T7700 laptop will work nicely for 2K (1080P and 2K aren't that much different, at least when it comes to editing them). But what are you trying to-do? That is the question that you're not quite answering . . . i.e., are we talking basically cuts (like a film), and some effects here and there, or are we talking visually intense commericals with tons of special effects, graphic overlays, etc.? I mean that makes a big difference in what I'd suggest. For instance, if you plan on muscling a lot of stuff through After Effects, I'd suggest quad-core. If you're only planning on editing single stream with the occasional dissolve, and then just color-correction, the fast mobile laptops work just fine. It all depends on what you're trying to do. |
