The PERFECT Mobile Production Workstation?! - EVGA SC15 Laptop Editing Performance

This video is sponsored by Intel.

If you know me or have followed my contentfor some time, you know that I’m super picky about my editing platforms.

The NLE software I edit with is of key importance,and the hardware and expected performance while editing affect my motivation, patience,and the overall end result.

That’s why my main rig holds an Intel Corei7-6900K, 32GB of RAM, a GTX 1080, and many SSDs.

But lately, I’ve been editing on a laptop- the EVGA SC15 with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ - and I’ve honestly not noticed a differencein performance.

It’s been great - let’s take a look.

[intro] I’m a badly-sunburned EposVox, here to maketech easier and more fun - today finally admitting that it is possible for me to do my productionwork on the go.

I explained during my unboxing of the EVGASC15 that this laptop is packed with specs - a quad core, 8 thread Intel Core i7-7700HQprocessor, 16 gigabytes of DDR4 memory, a GTX 1060, Thunderbolt 3, and a 1080 IPS 120hzGSync IPS display.

While these specs are amazing for gaming,they’re also great for editing and production, too.

This thing handled multitasking across Premiereand After Effects with no problem, and actually handles editing quite well.

Even with sluggish, H264 compressed footage,timeline performance is great and I ran into no issues with stuttering or slowdown.

I pulled up the task manager view to watchall 8 threads going to town on the footage.

The hyperthreaded CPU and included NvidiaGPU allow me to handle footage and effects in realtime with minimal slowdown - but thatscreen! IPS is glorious for video accuracy in editing,and 120hz feels so responsive for desktop work like this.

Admittedly, 1080p is quite the downgrade frommy multiple 4K monitor editing setup I normally use, so I had to develop a new workspace toadapt to the smaller screen real estate, but it worked out.

Plus, I just picked up a new professionalproduction monitor and thanks to the multitude of display outputs on the SC15, I was ableto hook up and run my new monitor with this laptop, giving me not only the main screenfor panels and such, but then a full 4096 by 2160 for my main editing timeline.

Now THAT was a fun edit.

The M.

2 NVMe boot SSD also gets used for temporarystorage and cache in my video editor, which helps speed up playback and editing significantly,and once I get proper accessories for it - that Thunderbolt 3 port will allow me to use veryfast external storage for production on the go.

In fact, I made a full sit-stand setup basedaround this laptop’s Thunderbolt 3 port - if you haven’t seen that video already.

Link in the description and so on, you knowthe drill.

Surprisingly, the laptop didn’t get superloud during editing like it does with gaming.

I guess the beefier cooling works on the GPUand video production only utilizes the GPU minimally, so I had a pleasant and not jet-engine-likesound experience, too.

The only point at which I really noticed thatthis machine was running slower than my main desktop rig was during rendering.

While all 8 threads went to work and torethrough footage more quickly than most machines I have, it was still a little slower thanmy desktop - but that’s to be expected.

I’m seriously impressed with how well thisperformed and I’m much more likely to take my work on the go to local shops, libraries,or parts now that I have something to produce on.

So yes, my hardened “Desktop master race”stance has crumbled down a little bit.

I can pretty confidently say the EVGA SC-15provides desktop-class performance and connectivity in a relatively small form factor, which isnot a claim I’ve ever expected to hold up.

That’s it from me.

Microsoft Store | Why Surface Laptop is Perfect For Students

Hey, I’m Isabella from Microsoft Store.

And today I want to tell you all about Surface Laptop and the awesome features that make it great for students.

For starters, it feels virtually weightless.

It weighs just 2.

76 pounds making it effortless to carry it on campus to class.

And if you’re traveling, it’s razor thin design makes it great to carry from anywhere.

But don’t let your eyes fool you.

Although it’s super light, it packs up to 14 1/2 hours of battery life.

So, you can say goodbye to the days of your laptop shutting down in the middle of a paper.

Now let’s take a peek at the exciting details on the inside.

By the way, check out how easy it is to open it with one hand.

I love this feature, especially when I have my hands full.

OK, now let’s get started.

First, take notice of the material on the keyboard.

It’s called Alcantara.

This luxurious fabric was hand selected for the palm rest because of its velvety-smooth touch.

Even better, it’s specially treated to resist spills, stains and absorption.

And you’ll love the advanced touch-screen.

It allows for faster and more natural navigation.

But let’s talk about the fundamentals like security and speed.

Surface Laptop comes equipped with Windows 10S.

That means heightened security you can trust and superior performance that lasts.

When it comes to security, peace of mind means everything.

That’s why Window Store Apps are available to ensure you’re always using trusted content.

As for speed, Surface Laptop starts up quickly and is built to stay that way.

Not to mention you can watch uninterrupted HD videos.

Finally, Surface Laptop was designed to work great with Office 365 so you can be productive as you want to be on any assignment.

Thanks for taking the time to learn about Surface Laptop.

We hope this was helpful.
