Apple and other company's in crazy editing.

[Bardebay]

Hello,
I want to buy a Apple Mac book pro 13" with touch bar and all that.
Is there any other,cheaper suggestions and better laptops for this hard core video editing?
Premier pro,blender,magic bullet,all these extra cool apps.

Thanks

You need power & storage, and lots of it, so a mid priced desktop, or an expensive laptop.

Which one would you prefer?

desktop, it's expandable and you're not locked into what apple thinks is the best hardware for you.

So what does that mean?and also I would like to have a light laptop. Because I am a traveler and I will need to do editing everywhere.

So you need to look at what your software can use in terms of acceleration, their recommended specs and buy accordingly, you'll still get more power for $ from PC.

Recommend spec?
If is computer,then I would choose a laptop with quadro,or gtx 960.
And also a good CPU.
Ram should be min 16GB ,

Thank you

I need some suggestions!

you've not given us a budget, country, brands you might like to use, brands you don't like, size, storage capacity or in fact anything useful.

Using the recommended specs, sort through some devices that you think meet them and are in budget and meet your other requirements, then ask us which is better.

You need to understand what you are buying and what compromises you are making (there will be compromises) rather than us just 'buy this one' and you not understand why we said it, and what's missing or weak.

Haha,you are right.
I don't mind any company,and I live in Taiwan.
All these types of computer,what is it,what is CPU,etc.I know all. Now I just change my Msi GE62 so now I am looking for a good laptop for editing.
Aorus,Msi,Lenovo,dell,apple,they are all good.
The only reason why want Apple because I heard that this touch bar one is meant for editing.so this is what I know from reviews.
