Advice on Video Editing laptop config Premiere Pro cs5.5

Hi,
Would any of you have advice on the configuration below for a laptop which will be used for video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 ?

It will also be used on holidays and travel... hence the laptop rather than a desktop.

The HD video will be loaded via USB from a Panasonic HDC TM900 camcorder. I know there are faster ways, but this works fine for me at present.

I would also like to be able to access my external hard drives via eSata connection, but can't see any mention of this in the spec for the laptop.

I am wondering if there is any unnecessary expense on the spec below, or anything that i may be forgetting?

Best Wishes,
Dave

Go on the store page for the 17.3" Optimus V. 5th and 6th pictures along point out the ports to you :) eSATA is labeled.

Get the i7-4800MQ instead of the i7-4900MQ, it won't make a big difference performance-wise.
Get the Silver warranty.
Don't get the random software trials.
