Garmin Virb Edit, do i really need a super-computer (gaming PC) to run it?

Loving the new Garmin Virb camera which is incredibly easy to shoot with during action-sports and has exceptional battery life.    (GoPro being complete polar opposite)

However when it comes to video editing, it seems to require a seriously hefty PC hw spec to process and consume it all:

Just bought a HP 8710w workstation laptop & hope this makes the HCL cut: (https://support.hp.com/ee-en/document/c01093115)


Plan for new laptop:

- upgrade OS to Win7 64-bit (current CPU T9300 Core 2 Duo @ 2.5Ghz)
- upgrade system RAM from 4GB - 8GB
- upgrade 80GB SATA to Samsung SSD 750 EVO III 500GB

Any experience with VirbEdit to share - :teach:  barring the laptop's limited RAM but powerful GPU (EDIT: NVIDIA Quadro FX-3600M with 512 MB) , i trust it will make the cut. >>
