Is there a current-gen Galaxy Book viable for video editing?
First, I apologize for my ignorance here.
I've been searching the internet and only finding some dated info, and so I'm hoping from insight from the community.
It seems that most posts from 2+ years ago suggest that any video editing laptop should also have a dedicated video card. I have a discount through my company that saves me a chunk of change through Samsung, but it seems all of their Galaxy Books have no GPU. Does this hamstring my ability to do video editing on these laptops?
Any insight would be very helpful here, gang. Or if there are other resources I should consult, a point in the right direction. Thank you so much!

By current gen, are you talking about the Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360?
If so, you can look up the i5 or the i7 that your interested model has and see how it does. From Galaxy Book Pro 360 videos I've seen, yes it appears to work fine unless you're gonna be working on like 4k 8k videos or something of that magnitude. It may not be as fast as other lapotps with dGPUs but if you really needed that performance, you'd either get a desktop or laptop with dGPU or use the laptop with eGPU. (I'm personally opting for the eGPU route)
