M4 MacBook Air - a Main Editing Rig?
Can you use an Apple MacBook Air M4 as your main editing rig for YouTube channels? I will say the answer to that, for my channel, is a surprising yes! Because of the crazy media engines in this thing, the actual footage no longer requires any hit to the CPU/GPU. So the only thing the MacBook Air has to work on doing are titles, effects, transitions and key outs.
