Using Pro Tools for audio editing, but want something that will handle audio and video editing in single program vs having to use something like Media Composer. Pro tools does have limited video editing but it's too basic. Will my i7-1185G7 laptop with integrated Iris XE run Resolve studio? And is it work getting studio to the the H264/265?

Looking at eGPU too but, for cost of good eGPU I'm halfway to building a good desktop system.

11th i7-1185G7 3.00GHz
Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 integrated graphics
16GB DDR4 Ram
512GB PCIe Class 35
H264/H265

A good desktop system would be the better option anyway.
That iGPU should work, but with limited timeline resolution and pretty slow effects. You'll need Studio to enjoy some speed from hardware decoding.

Thanks.I'll have to break down and get a dedicated editing desktop. Looking at building system based on i7-11700 or i9-11900, RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3070, 32 GB DDR4, 512 PCIe NVMe Class 40 M.2 SSD. Want something that's platform-neutral and will stay up to date for a few years. Do mostly audio editing, but want to get more into video editing. Betting my laptop will struggle with Resolve or trying to run Pro Tools and Media Composer. The system struggles a little running Pro Tools
