VIDEO PRO X 8
When my recent laptop problems began, I saw this laptop on sale, new...
ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX581LV i9 10980HK 32GB RTX 2060 1TB OLED Gaming Laptop
Storage Type:SSD
Operating System:Windows 10
RAM Size:32 GB
Graphics Processing Type:Dedicated Graphics
Processor:Intel Core i9 10th Gen.
Hard Drive Capacity:1 TB
Screen Size:15.6 in
GPU:NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
This laptop features 8 cores and 16 threads.
Just in case, I bought it.
After scanning and repairing my external hard drive, the problems went away for two days. Then returned.
Now I have a dilemma. I'd planned to sell on the new laptop if it wasn't needed and am still prepared to do this. But I have discovered that there are better, pricier external hard drives out there with far superior read speeds to the ones I've been using.
So...
1: Do you feel that the Asus Zenbook Pro Duo has sufficient specs to cope effortlessly with 4k editing?
2: Do you feel that the read speed I am working with - 130 mbps - is slow enough to cause problems and that investing in a Pro Model with faster speeds will bring about an improvement?

Hi Mark.

I feel we have had similar conversations before where both I and John EB gave our opinions and recommendations on what was needed. Namely for best performance from any of the Magix video editing software packages you ideally need a system that will allow the use of both the Intel GPU and preferably a suitable nvidia GPU. I don't have that information about that for the proposed laptop.

As for Q1 and Q2, both depend on how the projects progress. It's not just about the video files but the amount of audio and video tracks in use and effects in use. You can grind any project to a halt regardless of system with enough of either within a project.

Ray.
