any one create and edit videos in here?

i just got a great deal on a dell xps 13 w/i7 (gen 6) and 8gb of ram. i'm curious, mostly about the ram, if that should be enough to run video editing software, render, etc...

i don't plan on doing anything serious, i want to make videos of places that i travel too. i already do a lot of still photography on my travels and thought it would be fun to learn to make short vids as well. as an example, i want to do things like this: https://vimeo.com/philipbloom/kohyaonoi and this: https://vimeo.com/99523009

i went to both these areas this year and wish i could have made something like this.

i don't plan on doing as much (or any) drone work, but that gives you an idea.

suggestions greatly appreciated. i have time to return the dell if i need.

long answer

you'll probably want at least 16
PC laptops are usually a crapshoot in terms of reliability sometimes. dunno how good a Dell laptop is in 2016. dunno what kind of graphics card it comes with.

this is what i got a deal on: http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-13-9350-laptop/pd?oc=dncwt5143h&model_id=xps-13-9350-laptop

portability was a big concern which is why i was looking at this, the surface pro 4 and surface book. the dell was by far the cheapest.

how much does the graphics card really matter for the editing of the video though? isn't that more processor and ram intensive?

but in terms of actually working on your file i believe Premiere leans on your GPU a little more for previews in you general workflow. don't quote me on that tho.

i'm sure this would be more than adequate. The Surface Pro 4 is actually cheaper, but i'd imagine it would chug trying to run Premiere

Well price wise I didn't pay anywhere close to what's on the link, I got a good deal so SP4 isn't cheaper. Thanks for the input. Will keep researching about video editing.
