Hi guys !
I'm in need of advice: the battery on my Macbook Air 11 /2010 is basically dead - and I need a replacement computer. Given my budget, I'm considering the Macbook 12' (base model) or the Macbook Pro 2015 as they are priced the same.
My usage: productivity (email / web-browsing / Excel & Powerpoint), media consumption (youtube & movies) and finally occasional video editing (I edit 4/5 videos per year - 10min max @1080p).
I've been doing some research; and I've seen several youtubers edit with the Macbook (and even edit 4k!) without any hiccups on FCPX... Given that; and the fact that I travel a lot, I'm tempted to just go ahead and order the Macbook.
Would there be any reason to consider the heavier 2015 MacBook Pro (which has less storage!) ?
I would appreciate your input, as I don't want to make wrong purchase
Also...additional info: I need this computer ASAP, so I can't wait...and even the base new Macbook Pro I find too expensive. This will be my only computer (do have a larger screen and wireless mouse/keyboard for home though).
Thanks !
