  1. Just ordered my MacBook Pro m5 with 32gb and 2Terabytes of storage! Been waiting to update from my MacBook 8gb 256gb storage 2017 laptop ๐Ÿ˜…. I canโ€™t wait to see the difference! Going to be a breath of fresh air! ๐Ÿ˜Š

  2. Can you please do a comparison MacBook Pro m4pro 12-16 24gb vs MacBook m5pro 15-16 24gb. also do video editing, rendering, and export test.

  3. Hey Matt, there are a bunch of sales going on right now. Would you recommend getting an m5 24gb Ram for $1550, the m5 base for $1350 or a m4 pro for $1750?

  4. I need help! I edit 20min videos of slog3 4k 50 frames h.264 and wonโ€™t be editing anything more than that for the foreseeable future. Will the m5 MacBook work smooth without proxies or should I just get the m4 pro?

  5. Is it worth the upgrade to the M5 from a M1 Max, 64gb. I'm also a wedding videographer. Or wait for the Max?

  6. What a fuck!ng useless video. Just talk talk talk without palpable results. Buy a fuck!ng m5 and do the test bro. Waste of time.

  7. Thanks for the video! I canโ€™t figure out how it will be an improvement over the M1 Pro maxโ€ฆ.for h.264 videoโ€ฆor should i get the m4 max

  8. My iMac Pro with the Xeon W is still running flawlessly for professional video editing on a daily basis, feels as powerful as the day I bought it in 2019. Still is my favorite Mac ever.
    Never crashes, even under very heavy load for hours. Has plenty of connectivity and itโ€™s dead silent on the desk. Amazing workstation.
    It was a very expensive machine back then (significantly more than a M3 Ultra), but the long-term reliability and performance makes it one of the best investments Iโ€™ve made in my career.
    Will gladly continue to edit with it until Resolve can still support.

  9. I recently chose a MacBook air over the the m5 pro and I tasked it to transcode a couple of 4k videos and it crashed. Meanwhile, my m4 mini can run all night and not even break a sweat. About to return the air for a MacBook m5๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  10. Let me ask you something, will you order the M1 Max 1TB 64 GB for $1400, or will you go with something better?

  11. Will 16 GB RAM be enough? Davinci hogs on memory I think? Will it be enough for constantly editing wedding films on the go?
