macBook pro help

Post by eddysnake »

I don't know much about apple products. Me mum wanted to get a laptop for me pop for Christmas. they are apple people. It was between this and the air, everything I read about looked like the macbook pro packed more bang for your buck...

Is this a good build for this thing?

Hardware
2.6GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
256GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
Intel Iris Graphics

basic usage... I'd say final cut pro x media design stuff would be the heaviest thing they do on this. (photo/video editing)

I'd just go with the Air then. A bit cheaper. More expensive, but last for a long time and don't have the maintenance issues.
