Anyone here trying any editing on the new MacBook, especially the base model? So I have 2012 15" rMBP, and a, thinking of replacing my iPad Air with the new MacBook. However, to justify it, I need to be able to video edit when I am on the road. I don't expect it to be as fast as the rMBP, but I would like it to be manageable. I'm a daily YouTube vlogger, so I'd need to be able to edit 1080p videos for YouTube.

Anyone have any video of how the new MacBook handles it?

Like I said, not looking to replace a MacBook Pro, just supplement it.
 
Low bit-rate (5Mbps) 1080p content should be fine. Rendering might take a little longer but for most YT length content shouldn't be a huge deal breaker.
