It takes a fair amount of courage to gamble £700+ that the new M1 Mac will have sufficient power to meet the needs of even high-end hobbyists such as myself. My camcorder outputs HEVC 10bit 420 4k 50p, and preferably I would like to keep that format right to the end when using Resolve Studio for cutting and grading so that no quality is lost - otherwise why did I spend all that money on a good camcorder !? . Alex, I think your videos are well thought through and fair. I watch every one. But many KZbin contributors just seem to groupthink and demonstrate 8 bit 4k 25p (often mp4), and then extol the wonderfulness without further thought. It's too easy, and after a while it just becomes so much clickbait. I haven't seen a single HEVC 4k 10bit 50p/60p test anywhere on KZbin. Many have shelled out for the 8gb M1 mac memory version only. Meaningful metrics (for video editors) of 8gb vs 16gb are difficult to find. I guess we'll just have to be patient. If I could see clear evidence that the M1 could handle my requirements I'd order one like a shot. I was expecting to invest a huge wedge on a Threadripper 3960X and 64gb and RTX3080 sometime in the New Year to just stay in the game. That's a lot of dosh for a hobbyist.

Im using the Mac Mini M1 with 16GB RAM. I must admit, its good for Davinci Resolve. I only make short one song length videos and the main workload for me is the audio, which is not resource hungry, as I mix down with Studio One. I do use fusion though (to make my videos consistently coloured etc) and whilst it can stutter for a short while, its only lens correction for fish eye that really cripples it. I'd be curious as to whether the Studio only fisheye tool would struggle too. My findings were similar to yours. I doubt I could build a PC for the same money which handles video editing and rendering like this does. I use the free version which I believe is limited to how many processor and graphic cores it can address? (I read that somewhere..). It certainly makes my i5 MacBook Pro (2017) look a bit lame.

As always thank you so much for your helpful info, super appreciate it! I wondered if you know of anyone successfully running DaVinci Resolve 17 on a 2015 MacBook Pro? I’m running 16 with no problems and I’d like to download the 17 version, now that it’s out of Beta, but I’m hesitant as I want to make sure it’s going to run as well as 16 is currently running... any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated!

Awesome...... Just picked up a Sony FX3 and it uses 10bit footage. My laptop is struggling so am lookign at the M1. Have you have a chance to test with 4.2.2 10Bit footage?

@MrAlextech do you think it can handle big projects such as a two hours documentary? (Editing & Color grading)

Retime and scaling really fucks it up tho. Ive been using the resolve 17, not the studio version. My Macbook Pro 2020 really struggles with retime and scaling, gunning the fan like a jet. Now I have no idea whether its the laptop or the resolve version which need bugs to fixed.

Is this a good laptop for someone who's now getting into video editing or is there better laptops at that price point?

As I learned the mp4 imported must use more power than .mov or raw. My knowledge is that is the most demanding format. It may work better with braw or mov pro-res footage?

would u be so precious to mention more about heating? i'm so not knowing if should get the pro just bc of the fan? i'm a beginner, but really working on having more sophisticated music-videos than how they look now... they're 20 minutes long, and as soon as i have new computer with resolve studio version, i'll be using NR and all :) cheers!
