Answer
The proc is too slow for my tastes. The memory is a bit slow, too. Probably, the bus is on the low end. You should have a second HDD to serve as a scratch disk, and preferably, you should be using a striped RAID.

Generally speaking, video editing is very hard on the proc, southbridge and other parts; you're going to have one hot laptop on your hands. And it's not going to be very quick.

Ideally, quad-core Xeon at 3.5+ GHz, DDR3-2000 RAM and SATA RAID 0 on twin 500GBs running 10,000 RPM

Answer
Should be more than enough. The processor is very fast. The most concern when dealing with HD video is whether the graphics card can keep up, but the Radeon HD3650 is a very solid performing card. With that said, last thing left to do install and start editing. Enjoy!
