About to buy: Asus g75vx w/ GTX 670mx. Advice needed...

Hi all,

 

I've been lurking this past week, trying to decide on a laptop, and am about to bite the bullet on an Asus G75vx (t4020h) laptop to run Premiere CS6.

 

I've read through threads here that have mentioned this machine, but I would really appreciate it if someone could give me a quick thumbs up or down. The laptop will be for editing only. Formats and media I will be using which I imagine will stress the computer most: P2 video (avc intra 100) and RED 4k.

 

I'm buying it through Ebay:

The processor is good enough, I believe (i7 3630), and the RAM is maxed out.

The graphics card? It seems a better bet than the 660m or 670m model, but I don't know for sure.

There's a 120gb SSD, and a 750gb 7200rpm HDD. I will try this config out first, and if read-times seem slow I'll have to put a RAID system together.

The hdd is a hybrid drive. I'm not sure I want or need this, so perhaps someone could help me decide on this point?

 

Any other thoughts are welcome. I think there are a few members here who are using an g75 with cs6. Any pitfalls or blind spots I should know about?

 

thanks all,

O
