There really isn’t any reason to buy an Intel Mac in the 13-inch lineup. Let’s address the elephant in the room first. Best overall:M1 processor, 512GB storage($1,499) Dan Baker/Digital Trends

Apart from some concern over emulation performance, the M1 MacBooks are so much more capable than the Intel options that it’s hard to recommend any Mac Pro without an M1 in 2021. These four are essentially split down the middle: The two cheaper options start with Apple’s impressive M1 chips, while the two more expensive models paradoxically have the less powerful 10th Gen Intel-i5 chips.

There are many people who complain about the new keyboard. The display is beautiful, really an improvement over my Macbook Air. I still hesitated to buy an IMac 5K, but I don't miss the handyness of this compact laptop. With Premiere Pro CC the fans start very quickly, but it all works smoothly. Editing video works very well with my current laptop. A lot of money, but luckily it's worth it.

An upgrade that immediately cost more than € 500 (!).

In Final Cut Pro X it worked like a charm, but in Premiere Pro CC it was still slow so I traded the base model for a 13' with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage (128 I also thought very little). Because the various upgrades (from 8 GB to 16 GB ram, or i5 to i7) are very expensive, I bought the basic model (13', 128 GB, 8 GB RAM, i5) on the advice of a CoolBlue employee. After having had a MacBook Air for 5 years that I was very satisfied with, I started looking for a laptop that was better suited for editing photos and especially videos.
