Choosing the right Apple laptop for 4K video editing can be a daunting task, especially with the multitude of options available. If you are wondering which model is right for your needs and budget, check out this helpful video guide that will show you three different options.Â
In this detailed video guide, Matt WhoisMatt Johnson explores three MacBooks at different price points, offering valuable insights for those in the market for a new editing machine. He categorizes his recommendations into a budget-friendly option, a "best bang for your buck" choice, and a high-end, powerful model. For instance, the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air, recommended as a budget option, impressively balances cost and performance, as I can personally attest, having owned this model for over a year now. On the other hand, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip is highlighted as the best value for money, offering a significant boost in editing speed and overall performance, with the 16-inch MacBook Pro rounding out the top of the lineup.Â
While all these laptops are impressively capable, the one recommendation I would give creatives in purchasing one would be to not skimp on unified memory. While you can always use fast external storage, you cannot upgrade the unified memory, so err on the side of getting a little more than you need. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Johnson.Â
