Ollie,
Four graphics with a bit of explanation that I hope you find useful.
Thinking about the limits of your laptop when it comes to having a play with NX, I suggest you do any straightening and those items in the attached edit list that can only be done on a RAW file. Then save as the absolute best quality JPEG, which will have a smaller file size than the RAW. Now re open that JPEG in NX for a play with control points etc.
As you progress through the save as you will come to a ' Save Options Dialog ' box. By default this sets Good Balance, so click the drop down and select Excellent Quality then save.
Note you can save the edited JPEG as a NEF that will retain all the edit info so you can go back to it and change anything you did previously as it will all appear in the edit list. Necessarily this will be quite a large file.
