Hi guys!
I am about to finally retire my mid-2012 MacBook Pro soon, and have been looking into options for the next one so I need some advice.
I am only getting into video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro, however I am planning to create casual content for social media mainly (so no 3D and such). Apart from that, I am on the go quite a lot and would appreciate having a lighter laptop, and as I understand the 2018 MacBook Pro is not much lighter than my current 2012 one (around 3 pounds). Other than Premiere Pro, I mainly use my laptop for basic text/presentation editing, maybe some Traktor for music, and the occasional Photoshop...
From my research, the 2018 MacBook Air is a great step forward from the previous ones and is not much behind a Pro in terms of fastness. What still makes me question if it's the right choice is that it's dual core, and I've read more cores are recommended for Premiere Pro...
In a nutshell, what would you recommend for a user that uses Premiere Pro for basic video editing, Traktor, Ableton, Photoshop, but also needs a lighter laptop with long battery life?
Thank you in advance!
