Hi, there this is my first thread so correct me if im doing something wrong.
About me:
I'm an independent filmmaker and want to buy a new macbook. I mainly use a workstation-PC for editing but need something to be able to work with on the go, since im traveling a lot. Everyone shooting in 4K nowdays, leads me to have to find a 4K-Editing solution on the go. I've enjoyed my old macbook for more than 10 years and now with the new processors I finally see a reason for an upgrade and hope (even though I dought it) the next one will stick with me just as long.
(My pc-workstation is also already 5 years old and I'll have to uprade that too soon, to keep up with a 4K workflow, but my questions regarding that will have to be in another post)
Info:
I found Mactrade to have cheap prices for macbooks so instead of 3209€ im only paying 2664€ (for the 10-core, 16GPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB Harddrive) and instead of 2959€ (for the 8core, 14GPU, 32 RAM, 1TB) im paying 2456€.
I already figured I need a 1TB harddrive and will get the 32gb RAM Upgrade to be at least a littel future-prooven. My main question is: Do I need a 10core or is the 8core version enough? Do the 2gb GPU upgrade on the (more expensive) 10core version matter at all? Would those two facts be worth another 200€ for editing? Where should I put my money on the configuration? And where would it be wasted?
Am I completely blinded by all the youtube-review-videos about the 14-Inch M1-Pro I saw and actually would be better off with the new 13-Inch M2?
Thank you so much for your help. And thank you for having this forum!!!All the best
What's your Budget?
-Since this is not supposed to be my only workstation I'm aming at around 2500€
What are your main workloads and secondary workloads?
-This macbook is supposed to enable me to work (film-edit) on the go. Since i'm travelling a lot and cannot take my big workstation with me.
- Are you looking to upgrade the PC in the near future?
-Unfortunatelly it seems like you can no longer upgrade macbooks, which totaly sucks but brings me here so I know where to spend the money, to not waste it but also be kinda future-prooven
