Former Apple user. Only left because cost to build a computer and edit video made more sense the PC route. Upgrading to keep up is far cheaper too. My phone is the last hook Apple has in me.

[@MrPaulXavier]

If you know how to build PC is definitely a great route.

[@janmontarsi.-blendangles7960]

OK, so you got a computer dummy here I learned so much from your videos. Thank you. I do have a question in your video. You mention the Samsung external hard drive. I am going to buy the recommended. Asus computer that you featured. I need it for minimal things, but the main thing is so that I can facilitate saving my videos from the cloud and onto external hard drives for storage, freeing up all the space on my iPad for my actual video editing and recording work. It’s the perfect solution for me anyway I tend to make five and six hour workshop videos and their monsters to load up to KZbin but I hate having multiple part videos because people drop off when I have it as an entire workshop presentation for my artwork they tend to follow through the whole class and watch it sections. So my big question is on the Samsung external storage. The SSD I plan on buying a 1T cartridge. And looking at them, I see something about Read Speed . Some have a read speed of about 480. Others have a read speed of up to 2000. I am never going to be gaming on my computer. But is the 2000 speed that much better for uploading your videos to the SSD. Sorry for asking these basic questions. I just don’t have the right words or education to ask for the answers . So when you connect the SSD to your computer that has your videos stored in it and you want to work on one do you have to be able to upload it back to the computer or does it work right from the SSD when connected

[@kevinmorgan8188]

I feel you brother…

[@empressmysti8512]

Haha - cute. If your a serious video film making human this user is totally correct. If you need mobility then a full computer isn’t an option. I’m buying a laptop for my daughter, I have the extra money available to do this and for her level of up coming use a good laptop is what will fulfill her needs. If she starts making full length movies with loads of added layers then she will need to move to a powerful home computer with a large screen or three. We are moving away from Apple now also :) - Be well - you can get more power and better cost effective with a full computer and non Apple products. But if mobility is your need there are a lot of laptops that will do most work. He’ll I edit most of my social content on my phone 😂

Can I call it a coincidence or something. Last week, I was thinking about upgrading my LENOVO laptop that has served me for the last 4 years but I was confused which one go for between MacBook Pro and and the usual windows laptop that have been using for years.

I’m a victim to purchasing a Mac book pro m3 128Gb 4Tb storage I found it in the refurb section though so I did save some money and my brother works at apple so I got an extra 15% off. But still stung hard and now I realize I don’t even need all that power doing my light editing and design. Oh well better to have it and not need it plus it’s future proof in a way I guess. I’m enrolled in your course and am enjoying it! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.

Totally future-proof. M3 has AV1 compatibility, in a pair of years it might be the streaming standard and you’ll be able to edit at 4K without memory issues

I went in for 128gb Ram on the m3. I'm editing a full length feature film in 5K. But the caches being generated are horrendous. And then the computer glitches out till I delete all the caches manually which are upto 100 GB ram. Crazy as fcpx is not able to efficiently manage it. But as long as you know how to delete the generated files I'm finding 128 GB is helping me out big time.

[@Letsadvanture]

Would you recommend the new Ipad pro? I like the idea of just using the screen with the pen or connecting the keyboard to it when needed. Looking at the specs, and considering what you said, looks like they are topping these expectations, with 9-10 CPU cores, 10GPU, but it does come down on the RAM to 8 or 16GB.

[@MrPaulXavier]

For basic editing I think it’s a solid machine but you will definitely get limited by that ram if you try to ramp up your editing and get more serious over time

[@user-vj7sv5rm2h]

Yoga pro was on my list to, amd 8845hs and rtx 3050, going quite cheap nowadays, but with all the new ai talk and the elite Snapdragon coming out next month, I might hold off for a few weeks. Ideally I'd like a m4 but that's another year or so away

[@Tcontinenza]

This was helpful and informative. My question is have you considered or looked at mini PC or mac mini as an option or alternative? Would enjoy hearing your thoughts or a possible video on using mini instead of laptop

[@MrPaulXavier]

It’s all the same specs at the end of the day. Just less portable because you need a separate monitor. So run the cpu, the ram, the GPU and the storage options through the same test this video outlined and it will be good to go!

Thanks for this video Its very informative.

[@HHover1]

We are comparing different arquitectures here Arm vs X86, Apple uses Arm and windows pcs use X86, just wait for the new Arm laptops with Snapdragon X elite inside and then you can compare apple laptops... but the problem here is that majority of windows software is based on x86 aquitecture and they have to change that to arm too, or emulation on top of it.

[@taylork2874]

Maybe a stupid question but I'm learning.. Adobe Premier runs on ARM correct? Are there video editing softwares that require the x86? I only use Google docs/slides/sheets so unless there is something like photoshop or an editing software that needs x86, I wouldn't need something that runs x86 right?

Pro is an exceptionally good machine. At the same price point, I would definitely go for the pro. 200$ more and push yourself to get the higher RAM version of the M2 pro. 200$ in the long run is nothing.

Choosing Mac or windows is your option. But i personally prefer windows laptops for their upgradability factor. You'll do just fine with an m1 chip with apple.

It is quite expensive in this case to pay for 64. Edit: another version I've consideribly reduced the price by having and I7, 4050 (But 6Vram instead of 8) and 1080 resolution instead of 2k, all of that for 64 ram is it worth it?

That will definitely serve you well

[@aarrondias9950]

An i9 in a laptop is completely pointless. The power requirements and heat output means that you'd realistically get better performance in 99% of tasks with an i7, for typically cheaper. Even highly threaded workloads don't benefit. I'd save the money and see if you can get more memory.

I bought the vivobook pro 16x 4070/i7-13700hx, 32gb ram, is it good? Will it suffice as a editing and gaming laptop?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yup 🔥

[@pcoussa]

Didn't mention the fact that PCs are no good with the H265 codec. Apple is better at it as the codec is built in. Sure, you can "download" H265 codec but in my experience they never really work well. I guess a lot of this depends on whether the software that you use has the codec built in.

[@kuunami]

I never have problem with h265 on my machine.

what if 4pcores and 4ecores = 8cores?

I bought a M1 base model 14" MacBook Pro with 16gb ram last year at a very good price , I can do anything I wish on this , video editing & photo editing is a breeze ..so I highly recommend this mac & don't think you need the newer version unless you have money to burn

Nice!

How much cpu and gpu core is idle? is 16gb ram enough?

Is lenovo yoga 7 suitable for video editing?

[@MrPaulXavier]

Yes

[@coloursofniji]

Unfortunately my experience with DELL has been only negative with all the problems I have had. It’s slow and problems with keyboard. My Apple desktop too is very slow. I had great run with HP Envy so far. I am now replacing DELL with HP 14” laptop with 32 gB memory and 1 TB HDD and a separate graphic card. Hope it runs without hassles.

[@MrPaulXavier]

I would really suggest getting a laptop with SSD internal storage not HDD. HDD drives will slow down the speed at which you can edit.

[@coloursofniji]

@@MrPaulXavier Yes, thanks, that's the one (HP OMEN with SSD) I bought and it just arrived.

What laptop do you use?

[@notsorichrico]

I have a macbook 2013, great condition..... Eventually, the battery dies so quickly, can't upgrade, everything went to High-def video editing, rendering, my computer useless... most programs and apps, starts to not work and compatible........A replacement cost 1000k..... Note that I take care of my Macbook.....then I switch over to PC in 2020..... Parts are so easiliy and cheaply replaced and upgraded..... costing maybe $100.. that alone is amazing... So team PC now!!!! Long lasting!!!

Hello are these good specs? Apple 2023 MacBook Pro Laptop M3 chip with 8‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU: 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR Display, 8GB Unified Memory, 512GB SSD Storage. Works with iPhone/iPad; Space Gray (Renewed). The price is $1299

Everything except the unified memory is good. I would upgrade that to 16 or ideally 32

Jak reagujete na Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9I?

[@korruptnovellst4751]

Is the lenovo slim 5 gen 9 32 gb ram 4060 good for video editing. Im talkin animation/music videos with various effects. I currently have a HP Envy x360 15-fe0019na Convertible, 16 gb ram ryzen 7. Its laggin crazy and crashes sometimes in after effects. I can do very short videos no issues but anything longer than 30 secs and its inoperable. What is it about this envy specs that makes it incapable of handling editing in after effects?

[@MrPaulXavier]

The Lenovo is definitely an upgrade mainly because of the ram. It will still lag from time to time but it will be better

[@korruptnovellst4751]

@@MrPaulXavier what ram will I need for no lag?

[@MrPaulXavier]

If you truly want no lag we’re talking 128 gigabytes of ram

[@korruptnovellst4751]

@@MrPaulXavier ok. Do you think the Lenovo or is upgradable to 128? Or is 64 the maximum?

Super informative video. Thank you so much. There are better laptops than the one you suggested. XPS is insanely expensive. Gorgeous, but they got the pricing totally wrong. They will surely pay the price.
