Hey everyone,
So I just recently had a change where I am going to be working in 2 places a lot and will be needing a laptop. I am accustomed to a desktop currently but need the portability now.
I work in resolve 14 and fusion exclusively for editing/graphics and color grading. The cameras I use are the UMP 4.6k and the GH5 (with soon to be ALL-Intra Codec).
My question is this: Can I expect real-time playback performance with any laptop especially when it comes to raw playback? I know there are several caching and optimizing methods but that takes time that I sometimes don't have. I have worked with 4.6k 4:1 raw a couple times on the new xps 15 and for the most part it did ok but would start to choke after a while. My main concern is this...I come from RED where R3D's are very CPU intensive so basically any laptop cant keep up but I am not as familiar with CinemaDNG.
I am looking currently at anything from a Smaller laptop (razer) + EGPU with 1080 or a Clevo/Sager with a 1070 or 1080 inside. I just dont want to go balls to the wall on the GPU if its going to bottleneck on the cpu. I do know I need a fast drive... just trying to figure out which way to go here. Some of the Clevos have the desktop cpu's which is compelling.
Any help is VERY much appreciated. If someone can give me a little more insight on 7th gen cpu performance with uncompressed, 3:1 and 4:1 footage that would be awesome!
Thanks
