MacBook Pro M1 Great Video For Video Editing and Picture Editing

I do recommend that if you can get the 16GB model, do get it because it will give you better performance than the 8GB model that I have been using. Since I was only planning on using the Macbook Pro M1 as a portable on the road and using it as a basic video and photo editor the 8GB model has worked out perfectly for me!

Apple released the MacBook Pro M1 at the end of 2020, and it is very powerful compared to some Intel processor laptops, but the MacBook Pro M1 still has its limitations if you plan to use many of the Adobe Suite programs. Adobe is releasing M1 native applications which should work much faster and better performance. Currently, if I edit a video that has a lot of transition or with many effects, it does start to show and slow down on the MacBook Pro M1. Also, it does take more time to output the finished video compared to my current Dell 15 XPS with an Intel i7 6-core processor. Again, this is still my mobile editing device and also the battery life is excellent on the MacBook Pro M1, especially when you can edit videos or photos without having it slow down because the M1 is not plugged into a power source. This alone is one of the great benefits of the MacBook Pro with the M1 processor!

Best All Around Tablet: Apple iPad 8th Generation

Apple released the iPad 8th generation late last year and it is one of the best all-around tablets you can get at a great value! It is available in Silver, Space Gray, and Gold. You can either get the 32GB, or the 128GB version. I recommend the 128GB since you will fill up the 32GB model fairly quickly with some apps now bigger than they use to be. Also if you want to store any photos or do some light video editing, this will give you some extra room for storage with the 128GB version. The iPad 8th generation is also very lightweight to carry around at 495 grams for the LTE version and 490 grams for the WiFi version. The display is 10.2-inch, in my opinion, this is still workable screen real estate, especially to watch videos without being too cramped! I would be nice if when Apple releases the iPad 9th generation it would be without the big bezels it currently has. It is very quick to use around apps, browsing, etc.. with the A12 Bionic chip with 64-bit architecture Neural Engine. Doesn't have the best camera out there, but if you have plenty of light and outdoor use, even though I don't use a tablet for video or for taking pictures it can come in handy if you are going to be using it a quick video production outdoors and edit with LumaFusion, a great video software! Just keep in mind you won't be doing any 4k video recording as the iPad 8th generation only has the capability of recording 1080 HD which is still good for uploading to Youtube or your social media. Overall it's a great all-around tablet that you can use and is very portable.
