I'm considering purchasing a Panasonic TM700 camcorder. How strong of a laptop will I need to edit the 1080p60 video? The format is avchd. I'm going to be getting a new laptop/desktop (preferably laptop) as well soon, so specs on the pc can be changed. I'll be using Adobe Premiere CS5 to edit. Thanks for any help =)
specs for laptop:
i7 740qm 1.73ghz/2.93ghz turbo or a i5-540m 2.53ghz
1GB GDDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260M
4gigs of ram (can add more)
500GB SATAII 7,200RPM
I'm going to get a pc not a mac =)
Answer
That laptop will be on the edge. My suggestions:
1) Adobe Premiere minimum requirements are posted at Adobe. Be sure the computer exceeds the minimum requirements.
2) Faster CPU is always better - especially for the resource intensive AVCHD compressed MTS files.
3) More RAM is always helpful. 4 gig is OK, more is WAY better.
4) Use an external drive for the video project files. This way the system and virtual memory on the internal drive are not fighting the read/write access for the video project.
Whether the camcorder will actually meet your requirements is unknown since we don't know what you plan to capture to video.
What are your plans for archiving the video? Are you using a NAS?
What are your plans for video sharing? Online only or are you planning to use the computer's DVD burning capabilities? Any plans for a Blu Ray burner? High definition video uses LOTS of space. When you compress the video, you are discarding video data and reducing video quality.

I wanted to know if my laptop with dvd rw can play high definition dvds?

Answer
What do you mean by high definition DVDs? There are only DVDs and Blu-Rays now. And you need a Blu-Ray player if you want to watch Blu-Ray movies.
Even if you were to download an mkv file (which is a high def movie compression codec) there's still a chance you wouldn't be able to play it properly on your laptop due to your video card.
EDIT: high definition DVDs as in HDs? As in the high definition format discs they no longer make? No. You would need an HD DVD player.
