1. Re: ASUS G74SX-A1 as Premiere Pro Editing laptop? Seems just about perfect...
Harm Millaard Jul 3, 2011 7:54 AM (in response to BenFreedman)With a second 7200 RPM drive and memory upgraded to 16 GB and possibly an i7-2820QM CPU or faster, it does indeed look appealing if you need the portability. You need a wall outlet anyway, so portability may not be the issue here. If not, then a desktop is cheaper, faster and has more room to grow.

Bill Gehrke Jul 3, 2011 9:21 AM (in response to BenFreedman)This unit does have (apparently) two hard drives of 750 GB each. There are no 1.5 TB 2.5" 7200 rpm drives. The only thing better would of course 3 hard drives.

BenFreedman Jul 3, 2011 10:10 AM (in response to Harm Millaard)Thanks for the input. I can't imagine why you'd buy a laptop if you didn't need portability, so I thin that has to be factored into the equation.
Also, while the Sager laptops are obviously powerhouse machines, I think the portability, and bang-for-buck can't be left out.
I was looking for something under 10lb, under $2K, CUDA GPU, fast-ish CPU and at least 2 HD slots. I think $ for $, the new Asus can't be beat...
Thoughts?

GregoryHD Sep 23, 2011 1:25 PM (in response to BenFreedman)I'm right with you. Nice portable desktop at a decent price. Sadly the graphics card is not supported for GPU accelartion which means no Mercury Playback engine http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
So if you upgrade the graphics card, what would you upgrade it too?

Bill Gehrke Sep 23, 2011 6:46 PM (in response to GregoryHD)This unit does have a CUDA MPE capable graphics card. Just because it not on the supported list does not mean it will not work. All you have to do is added it to the Adobe file "cuda_supported_supported.txt"

Rowby Goren Sep 25, 2011 9:48 AM (in response to Bill Gehrke)To add the card to the cuda_supported_supported.tx text file follow these instructions from a post I put up several months ago:
