skydiveoc 0 #1 June 23, 2011 Thinking of getting a backup editing system that can double as a new laptop. Ive heard of cooling issues with i7 laptops burning out motherboards. Anyone with experience with this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #2 June 23, 2011 just got a VAIO SSeries (not yet released); I'll share my experience with you in a few days. So far, heat has't been an issue, but it does have a dissipation plate that can be removed, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone with experience with this? Nope, it's worked fine for the last year. Just be sure what ever you get has DisplayPort (will run a 2560x1600 monitor) not HDMI (1920x1080) and opt for the largest battery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSE 1 #4 June 23, 2011 I've been using a Dell xps 15 w/ an i7 as a general purpose laptop and tandem video editing station. Its been great. Not quite a fast as the guys with top of the line desktops, but that's mostly due to the lower speed of the internal dvd-r drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #6 June 24, 2011 just realized the S series doesn't have the i7, it's i5. Ooops. my error. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
