I'm bumping this thread since I had a question for those of you using I7 workstations with AVCHD video: does the video play smoothly on these systems? If so, what editing software are you using? I tried Sony Vegas on a laptop with a dual core Centrino processor, 4 MB of ram and Vista and the AVCHD video plays back very choppy... impossible to edit this way. Am thinking about upgrading to an I7 but won't do it if the video is still choppy.
A related question: will an I7 laptop perform as well as a I7 desktop for video editing, assuming all of the other major specs are similar?
