Looking to purchase a laptop, is this good enough for video editing?

Hi!

I'm looking for a laptop that would be powerful enough to edit videos. Nothing fancy, I'd like to edit my travel videos etc. that are filmed with gopro 4 usually 1080p 60fps, sometimes I use 120fps for slowmo. Mostly I've been using sony vegas, but this can change.

I got my eye on HP Elitebook 850 G1.

Intel Core i7-4600U 2,70GHz
8GB DDR3
180GB SSD
1TB outside HDD 7200rpm via usb3
AMD Radeon HD 8750M + Intel HD 4400

Looking around the web it should be doable with these specs, but not quite sure. Any experiences or recommendations?

Don't bother with the discrete graphics card, and instead try to get a Skylake 6600U or HQ based model like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6R43RM1384 or even http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154111

MSI truly looks nice but it's 2x more expensive than the HP Elitebook 850 G1. I figure if I'm going to spend that much on it I should consider building a desktop instead.

What the hell are you smoking? The elitebook 850 g1 (http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/hp-elitebook-850-g1) is twice the price, not the other way around!

If you are comparing a new computer to an old used thing you found on ebay, don't
