In a recent article, a content creator discusses the superior performance of Apple’s MacBook Pro for video editing compared to their previous Windows laptop. The MacBook Pro M3 with its 12-core CPU and 18-core GPU provided seamless 4K video editing in DaVinci Resolve, outperforming their high-end desktop PC. Real-time playback of 8K video files and efficient editing without rendering or converting were major benefits of the MacBook Pro. While benchmarks showed the PC excelled in GPU-intensive tasks, the MacBook’s overall performance, efficiency, battery life, and usability made it the preferred choice for on-the-go content creation. Despite some minor drawbacks, the MacBook Pro’s lightweight design, minimal heat and noise, consistent performance, and faster charging made it an unbeatable choice for travel-ready content creators.
