Apple charges a premium for SSD storage and you can’t upgrade the ram later on so I did 16GB because I would be doing taxing workloads like editing 4K footage from camera’s like the Pansonic GH5. The hidden cost is that you need those extra accessories like an external SSD. This was the best value performance configuration in my opinion. I settled on the M1 Mac Mini 16GB with 256GB SSD. You could basically plug-in your keyboard, mouse, monitor ,and external hard-drive and you could pay almost half the price of the Macbook Pro M1. While waiting for the M1 I found out that the Mac Mini had the same M1 chip and all of the essential ports.

Every year I would price out different configurations of Mac’s powerful enough to video edit and it would always come between $2500-4000.Īfter watching enough reviews I ordered the M1 Macbook Pro with 16GB ram and 500gb SSD for just over $1800US. I settled on the Huawei Matebook Pro X 16Gb and converted back to Windows and the Adobe Creative cloud system. It got to the point in late 2018 that I needed to upgrade my machine for my work, which involves primarily video editing, graphic design, email, screen recording, and everything in between. Since then every new generation of Mac’s especially the Macbook pro line were getting increasingly expensive without much performance gains.

You can repurpose your accessories on the Mac mini if you would like. If you have an existing windows laptop like I do this is a great way to get into the Apple ecosystem as a second computer. It’s great for creatives and especially video editors given the increased horsepower with the new M1 chip. You could use it as your everything computer at home and to connect to your tv as a hybrid workstation and entertainment system. The M1 Mac Mini could fit a variety of uses. I was shocked to see that the price of these M1 laptops were cheaper than the intel Macbook pro’s with larger screen size, ram, and dedicated graphic cards. I decided to pop in my local best buy at the time. I watched the reviews from the Youtubers as they were proclaiming that these M1 machines were legit. Apple released their so called Apple Silicon M1 chip, which is a super powerful processor created by Apple instead of Intel.

The M1 2020 lineup of Macs from Apple were released in late 2020 represented one of those giant leaps in computing power and value that we haven’t seen before from Apple. Mac Mini M1 Review for Video Editors and Creators
