Yes. It is more than my current system and I can handle 4k.

+1. Almost the same specs as my new desktop.
It makes a big difference if you use HEVC or AVC of the GOPro. If it is 4K HEVC than don't forget to switch on the NVDEC in Options/ Preferences/File I/O for Nvidiahelp at good previewing and a little faster rendering.

I recently got a new $999 Walmart Evoo 17 Gaming Laptop w/17" IPS 144hz screen, 6-core i7-9750H CPU, GTX 2060, 16GB DDR4, 1TB M.2 for the OS, another empty M.2 slot for my source video & empty SSD slot for my target video. (Which I plan to fill as soon as I find a good deal...) It was listed for $999 during Black Friday & also in January.

I added a $88 Walmart 3 year protection plan for peace of mind but online reviews confirm that this is a good bang/buck laptop based on a popular frame... (Eluktronics & other venders use this exact same frame & build a laptop to your specs but you will pay a LOT more for the same components...)

I've been using it to edit family videos in my living room vs. having to stay confined to my studio... It completed the UHD render test noted in these forums in 1:41 vs. my 9900K workstation's 1:39. Like my 9900K, on this laptop the Intel 6373 iGPU is actively helping the onboard GTX 2060 whereas some laptops disable the iGPU & do not allow you to change the BIOS settings... As noted above, this has slots for (2) M.2 & (1) SSD so except for not having a TB3 port it is a great bang/buck deal for editing...

Workstation C with $600 USD of upgrades in April, 2021
--$360 11700K @ 5.0ghz
--$200 ASRock W480 Creator (onboard 10G net, TB3, etc.)
Borrowed from my 9900K until prices drop:
--32GB of G.Skill DDR4 3200 ($100 on Black Friday...)
Reused from same Tower Case that housed the Xeon:
--Used VEGA 56 GPU ($200 on eBay before mining craze...)
--Noctua Cooler, 750W PSU, OS SSD, LSI RAID Controller, SATAs, etc.

Performs VERY close to my overclocked 9900K (below), but at stock settings with no tweaking...

Workstation D with $1,350 USD of upgrades in April, 2019
--$500 9900K @ 5.0ghz
--$140 Corsair H150i liquid cooling with 360mm radiator (3 fans)
--$200 open box Asus Z390 WS (PLX chip manages 4/5 PCIe slots)
--$160 32GB of G.Skill DDR4 3000 (added another 32GB later...)
--$350 refurbished, but like-new Radeon Vega 64 LQ (liquid cooled)

Renders Vegas11 "Red Car Test" (AMD VCE) in 13s when clocked at 4.9 ghz
(note: BOTH onboard Intel & Vega64 show utilization during QSV & VCE renders...)

Source Video1 = 4TB RAID0--(2) 2TB M.2 on motherboard in RAID0
Source Video2 = 4TB RAID0--(2) 2TB M.2 (1) via U.2 adapter & (1) on separate PCIe card
Target Video1 = 32TB RAID0--(4) 8TB SATA hot-swap drives on PCIe RAID card with backups elsewhere

10G Network using used $30 Mellanox2 Adapters & Qnap QSW-M408-2C 10G Switch

Workstations A & B are the 2 remaining 6-core 4.0ghz Xeon 5660 or I7 980x on Asus P6T6 motherboards.
