Any laptops out there? I need a travel machine.
Or perhaps, is there a service out there that lets you upload raw footage and edit in the cloud?

Whats your price range? I can make some suggestions. in the PC realm. I wouldnt touch an apple product with 0bamas pecker!
Holy crap dude! That's power plus! And the storage capacity. I looking forward to the day I upgrade my computer. Powerful cpu or even 2 of them, super duper grahics card running on highest frequency available. I just upgraded my storage to a Qnap NAS, 36 TB. Won't have to worry about space for while.

A bit off the thread..but....not decided on Pro or advanced model.....for home movie type video....is the Advanced models 1080p. Version OK... Options from users would help me.
Am a newbie at Phantom 3 and videography. I need some help with selecting a computer and editing program. I am not very computer literate, more of a "hunt & pecker". Could someone give me advice on a computer for editing video from Phantom 3 and a editing program. Have read the forums and a lot of what everyone is discussing I do not understand. No way can I build a computer. I need something that I can plug in and use from the manufacturer and a very easy program. I have read about an editing program from Wondershare called Filmora that looks relatively easy to use. Anyone have any comments about it?

If I was in your situation, and didn't know anything about computers, I'd just buy a Mac of some kind and use whatever I could get on OSX.
Sweet setup. I have the MBP and the 5K Retina iMac. Both work great but the iMac has 32GB of RAM.

I bought the iMac full boat except the RAM ( I7 + 1TB SSD + 8GB RAM) It was 4K + then I bought 3rd party 32GB of RAM and installed it myself. Making it a monster video editor.

Truth of the matter is you can use most any current computer made in the past several years to edit 4k video. It comes down to how long it will ultimately take for the computer to process the video. A computer that uses a discrete GPU vs built in on board video will be better though for the on screen rendering of the video. And as far as CPU something with an i5 or i7 quad core or better with 8 gigs or more of ram should work nicely enough. 12 to 16gigs would be preferable. And a PC with a 6 core i7 and 16 to 32 gigs of ram with at least a Nvidia GTX 970 or better video card would fly. Oh and Hard Disk in RAID or SSD setup.
My desktop is about 5 years old. Dell Studio XPS i7 @2.93ghz quad core, 12gb ram, and it's just barely enough. What's killing me is the old nVidia GTS-240 video card! I'm thinking if I get a decent card and double the ram, I can get another couple years out of it.
