Hello! I’m a filmmaker who hopes to use the new machine for editing 4k videos (Premiere), color grade, edit photos and I am planning to upgrade from my super old MBP 15 inch Late 2013 model with 16GB ram (2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB graphics).
After researching youtube videos and posts here in a macbook pro reddit, I was already decided on buying the 14 inch MBP M5 chip 32gb ram 1TB SSD which I can buy now at 2205.28 with an education discount. However because I've confirmed I can buy through the education store to get a discount, I got curious to check the price for the 14 inch MBP M5pro chip 24GB 1TB 15 core CPU 16 core GPU and apparently with the discount I can buy it at 2375USD which makes it so tempting to consider it over the M5! Now I have to decide if a higher ram or higher cores matter more (and the M5pro has 2 fans while M5 only has one, although a lot of M5 users already said their fan barely has to be activated).
I was already decided on the M5 as I read a lot of people, users, comparison videos, and reviews saying their M5 was enough for their editing needs and didn't really encounter that much problem editing with multiple tracks with 4k footages (with multicam too) and color grading etc. But knowing now that there is just a 169USD difference because of the discount (and higher the price higher the discount), their price range is a bit closer now to each other. Although M5pro only has 24GB and people have been saying 32GB is the good minimum ram for creative and editing work and the next ram option for the M5PRO is 48GB which makes the M5Pro too expensive for me. What do you guys think?
