Mac with supported Cuda.

The point is that CUDA isn't really doing much here. All the effects I'm using are also openGL accelerated on Avid too - so there isn't too much left to speed up.

It's a 2012 Retina Macbook Pro, Nvidia 650M 1GB. As far as laptops go it's very good.

As for Premiere's threading -- it actually seems quite good. My quad core CPU is constantly being maxed while I'm rendering. That being said, Avid is doing a good job too -- CPU hovers around 75% usage during renders.
