What laptop does the video clip recommend?

MACBOOK with M 1 chip is recommended, which is very powerful.

According to the comparison test of video clips between MacBook Pro and iMac Pro, Apple didn't brag at the press conference. The actual performance of M 1 chip in video editing scene is even better than that of 10 core iMac Pro.

In terms of configuration, photographer @ Sydney Gu Jun's new MacBook Pro is equipped with 8+256GB of memory, while iMac Pro is 10 core+128 GB of ECC memory +Vega 56.

When playing 8K video recorded by the same Canon EOS R5, the iMac Pro with a price of more than 50,000 yuan can't play smoothly, while the MacBook Pro with M 1 chip can play smoothly almost without any jam.

When editing video, no matter H.265 or H.264, MacBook Pro with M 1 chip can abuse iMac Pro crazily. Even when rendering the same segment of Canon 10bit 422 8k video of h265, iMac Pro takes 2 minutes and 47 seconds, while MacBook Pro with M 1 chip only takes 1 minute.

Of course, given that the 8G memory of MacBook Pro is too small, when using Final Cut Pro, if there are more materials in the timeline, there will still be a jam. If you upgrade to 16G memory, maybe the performance of MacBook Pro will be better.

MacBook Pro running points:

In addition, the running choice of the new M 1 chip MacBook Pro was also exposed online. Under the running test of Cinebench R23, MacBook Pro multi-core and dual-core achieved 7783 and 1493 respectively, surpassing many Intel high-end chips. It is not difficult to see that the performance of M 1 chip is really good.
