The GPU in the ASUS I'm looking at has 384 CUDA cores: not stellar, but still usable to speed things up in Premiere. Most ultrabooks these days have USB 3 ports, and I'll certainly be working from a little 1 TB USB 3 hard drive. But in the field, any editing I do will mostly be color grading to check that the color balance I'm shooting is working. the vast majority of my editing will be at home on a a full desktop configured just for video editing.
Here's a Premiere question: when you buy Premiere, you have a license to use it on two computers. What if one computer is a Windows computer and the other a Mac laptop? I'm guessing Adobe will force me to buy two Premiere licenses. Mike Boom At 04:35 PM 2/9/2013, T.
