Thoughts on using a Sony Vaio with CS5 for HD event video projects?

[fathergll]

Basically I would need to use my Sony Vaio F12 laptop to edit HD wedding videos on CS5. I wanted some opinoins on my equipment so i will be able to edit a long project(about an hour to 2 hours) smoothly with no dropped frames, errors, system crashes, etc. So I would basically i need a setup that can keep up.

Specs: Sony Vaio – Intel Quad Core i7 1.73 Ghz(Mobile version), 6 gig ram, 500 gb 7200 rpm HD Nvidia GeForce GT 330M(1GB dedicated video memory)

I know I would at least have to use an external HD from the video and audio. I have a 1TB Samsung Story external USB and another 1 TB one that is eSata but am having problems with the esata port on the Sony.

So you already own the computer, and you are not asking advice on whether to get it or not, right? If you do already own it, what exactly are you asking about? External harddrives, computer upgrades, extra peripherals?
