You can either hook up the drone direct to your PC or buy a card reader (remove your microSD card to do so) to run straight off your PC, download and delete depending on what you want to do. Removing the SD card is generally quicker.
Here is a link to a bunch of tips from @msinger including suitable cards and card readers for use.

I have a list of some commonly used memory cards that work well with the P3S here.

After I'm done flying, I normally remove the memory card from my Phantom, insert it into a memory card reader (I use this one), and move the files from the memory card to my computer. Then, I put the memory card back in the Phantom (without formatting it). If you don't want to move all of the files off of the memory card for some reason, it would be okay to leave some files on it.

I never saved any video on my computer, I saved all my videos in YouTube after is edited.

If your laptop has a USB 3 port, I would get a USB 3 memory card reader that support micro sd. The file transfers will go much faster over USB 3 than USB 2.
