Can this cope with rendering?

[rephlexe]

Hey all,

I've seen that the inbuilt sandybridge gfx processors are pretty powerful,

Would this laptop be able to handle basic sony vegas rendering in 1080?

-i5-2467M (with the hd3000 gfx)
-4gigs ddr3
- no dedicated gpu

thanks for any help

Most software packages render in software so it's the CPU that matters most. GPU is quite irrelevant for things like this other than being able to cope with the application while using it. More memory helps but only if the CPU is fast enough.

A desktop would be better suited for this (more power and better cooling) but if you insist on a laptop then the one you posted will be fine. Just make sure it's cooled properly otherwise the CPU may be slowed affecting rendering times.
