Apple has already secured first dibs on TSMC's 3nm process (66% more transistors vs 5nm).....coming in 2022......Then First Dibs for their 2nm process (50% more transistors than 3nm, and 150% more transistors than 5nm)...coming in 2024....Apple silicon transition will be complete by the end of 2022.....That is when their 3nm chips will launch...the perfect time to buy.
Man.. I would wait for M2 or M3 if I can.. Sadly, I need a new laptop as soon as I can. I've already delayed my purchase by waiting for M1... And it seems like the new M1 Macbooks are going to be a great upgrade! I'm currently using a dual-core i5, 4GB of 2100mhz RAM, and a hard drive... yeah. it's hellish haha
This makes me feel amazing about my base model coming tomorrow, thanks for posting this! (Btw, watching your edits, do you ever use the "Trim" command? I used to do the "cut-cut-delete" dance, but "Trim Start / Trim End" took my workflow to the next level.
@@jatgee5195 please don’t listen to that fool. Ryzen 2500x is about 20% or so faster in multi threaded workload compared to the most recent 13” Intel macbook pros. Where the new m1 MacBooks clearly blow them away. If we were talking in the range of a 2600x or higher then maybe, but the 2500x not so much
It's a shame Apple designing their own silicon like this didn't drive the price down to a friendlier level, or at least curtail their penchant for vastly overcharging for memory and SSD upgrades. Can't argue with the performance figures though. That said, inclined to wait for "M2" variants, as don't immediately need something new, and would hate to have laid out over a £1000 for something now when I can afford to see how the hardware matures. At least it's saved me money by shelving the Ryzen 5000 series Hackintosh I was going to build. Will put a little of that money into beefing up my 2009 Mac Pro instead for now.
My sentiments exactly. I have a Samsung 4K monitor, it was cheap at the time, for my 2012 mac mini, and whilst it's OK for what it is, there is no comparison to the 5K screen on my 2014 27" iMac. But I could definitely go for an M1 16Gb Mac Mini as a secondary machine, and then wait to replace my iMac. I suspect that will be a 30" screen, and better all round performance than my current iMac. Hope you get what you want!
I don’t know 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂. My iPad Pro 2018 is my main device, so I was fully confident the M1 would beast out, but it’s even better. What a time to be alive 😂
I don't know how apple does it really!! this is so crazy. I feel like all my frustration and disappointment of rendering and exporting a 5 minutes video is about to be vanish without breaking my bank. I am not a fan boy. I am a kind of guy who seeks equilibrium between price point and performance. as we all know it, apple products were never cheap. but this time, if apple was a person, i would have hugged and say thank you without a doubt.
all m1 mac are good decision, but do not take a ipad air 4, choose the ipad pro 3rd gen this is almost the same as 4gen, and in front of ipad it got the FUCKING 120hz !!!! (i'm french sorry my english isn't perfect at all)

People are not gonna buy iMacs anymore, I mean getting a mac mini for 699 and adding the peripherals are much cheaper than a good speced iMac. You still get awesome performance and efficiency too.
Hello . Bought my M1 8GB 512GB MODEL. normally I use consistently 16 GB of memory with my Mac’s for intel CPU. SO MY Applications run smoothly with 4 cores i7 processor. But from time to time it lags. Especially when I open Handbreak to convert my videos and the same time watching movies with intel my movies as I convert other movies with handbreak. … the movie that I’m watching keeps on stopping but with M1 chip nothing like that. It runs very fast and smoothly . And also when I start my M1 Macmini, I didn’t see any Apple logo and progress bar just swoosh I’m in my log in information…. Really the M1 chip as you use it, you can see the difference from intel CPU’s and I’m impressed with the unified memory imagine I only had 8GB memory but it runs like 24 GB of memory . Not to mention that it has 8 cores CPU & 8 cores off GPU, and regarding stressing the Macmini M1, I convert all 25 videos (movies) that I owned, that needs audio conversion, continuously, but I never heard the fan …. Really it’s dead quiet, imagine I was converting my movies overnight but you can feel the heat on the chassis that’s why I open up my fan to cool it up somehow overnight. The cores are used almost a 100% and heat is around 86%. And. With it running the conversion…. I watch movies, on TH-cam, typing opening my social media in a very very smooth way. It’s really revolutionary the M1 …. Smoother faster and cheaper. Though honestly , I’m skeptical in buying it before as I always be confident with 16 gb memory and 512GB to 1 Tb SSD is my choice. And quad core i5’s or i7’s intel. So I took the risk, thinking that I downgraded my memory would it be he same performance as my quad core 16 gb 512 SSD model , but you know what…. It surpasses that, that’s why my purchase is superb I am say that this is much better than my quad core i7 intel 16gb 512 SSD model … better better and smoother. At the most of my tests, application wise,…… until 4 simultaneous work load continuous usage M1 can handle it. Who knows maybe more than that it depends on the apps that you use.
Thanks for this great video Gary. I wonder if we can expect similar performance with Premiere Pro? Those render times could be literally life changing for me.
Everybody just testing this with normal video tracks. But this you can do on a iPhone already. But where the trouble starts in FCPX is when you add multiple titles and title effects. Or after effects. Or motion.
You are the only person who reviews tech properly unlike mkbhd and all others who just keep messing around and are not informative at all.keep it up man
So I am just waiting for your “best accessories for the Mac Mini” video i am buying this Mac mini so let’s post that video soon “Gary” lol... thank you in advance .
@@zyciewusatvbygosia8880 this is what i need to know. i’m having such a hard time choosing a monitor. i don’t do gaming or anything and want something affordable, but i don’t just want something cheap that wont be great cause i would be switching from a macbook pro that obviously has a great display..
I'm buying one right now. I just exported a 17-minute video and it took almost 1.5 hours with an i7, 32 gig ram, etc.. Adobe media encoder was maxing the cpu. My only concern is the storage, but I don't care.
thank you so much for this video ---- I was on the fence about getting a video ed computer ---- but now I am for sure getting the mac I was big mac man years ago now I remember why thanks
Much better. You don't have access to Final Cut on iPad or to advanced softwares like After Effects or anything of the sort. Also the ability to layer and add more effects is something you'll miss out on with the iPad
I'm interested because i found an offer on 600$ usd. I have my principal PC on windows, but i want a second pc for video editing and work. Do you still recommend it today?
I agree. Not a great comparison. My 2015 rmbp handles 4k footage no problem, but when I add some color, masks, titles, transitions it slows down a ton. Simple cuts and audio layering doesn't really slow it down as shown here. I'm sure this base mac mini is 2x as fast as my rmbp at minimum, but this isnt a good test. I'll wait for the imac for the 5k extra screen and greater thermal envelope.
He’s selling the Mac with an affiliate link in the description. So take what he says here with a grain of salt. 5 minute videos is fine but what about 10-30 minute TH-cam videos/short films in 4K?
@@Station9.75 from the reviews I saw I don’t think that will be an issue. My 15.4 inch MacBook Pro with 16 gb ram has a hard time when I use layers of text animations and layers from pixel film studios (fan gets super loud and renders forever) ... I wonder how M1 performs ... I’m really on a fence about picking one up but don’t have answers to all my questions yet :(
Appreciate the demo :) Ordered the base M1 Mini earlier today as an upgrade to my Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina. Gonna be absolutely fine for editing my 4K drone footage. Delivery due tomorrow .... can't wait!
Yes! Get the 16gb! Don’t wait either, everytime you wait people are just gonna tell you to wait again! If you keep waiting you won’t ever get anything! There’s always gonna be something new, get what you want when you want it and enjoy that shit!
@@My-by while it's true that everyone always tells you to wait for the next generation, it's also true that the ARM CPU is a first for the mac platform. I've heard some developers being concerned about the lack of some.. developer stuff, I suppose. One of the things mentioned was Homebrew, whatever that is. Yeah, you could try to get it, but in general, a first-generation product is usually the best generation to skip, too. Those seem like really powerful machines, though with the intensity of today's changes it's a bit too much to predict what will last 5 years and what will not.
...15:34 Macbook Mini??? LOL Great video. I'm sold. Was looking at the new 2020 iPad Air but maybe having second thoughts for Raw Sony photo editing (I have two MBP's).
Beyond, waaaaaaay beyond, breathtaking. And the saddest part? You'll still, still, get PC users slagging it off and computer companies pushing the PC (for various profit-related reasons). Brilliant video; thanks so much. :-D
@@vishnubhramashiva4110 How does Nvidia benefit from Apple using ARM architecture in their processors? It’s not like Apple is buying the processors from them. Apple made their own in-house chip BASED on ARM, not buying chips from them to be included in the macs.
@@numetheus ARM is getting getting paid by Apple through licensing fees for using their architecture. Nvidia buying ARM means that Apple will have to pay licesning fees to Nvidia.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that this Mac Mini is editing 4K footage with a measly 8GB of RAM? My Ryzen setup with 16GB of RAM still chokes on 4K occasionally, and this beast is just taking it in stride!
Some pretty wild stuff man and it's crazy because in an interview done by The Tech Chap with 2 Apple employees, they said they're a product company not a chip manufacturing company and that's saying. To get the maximum performance from less wattage it's just mind boggling. And this is just the first generation of chips, Apple's all about evolution over revolution. I saw 3 Windows 10 concepts and was super salty because of how good it looks and as a die hard Windows user I'm tempted greatly to switch seeing as I've had experience with a Unibody MacBook Air from 2010
Was looking into getting a Desktop Mac to use for video editing at home and make my current MBP as my travel editor, but I’m so happy I waited, for sure getting this as I already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Thank you so much for this video
It is my humble suggestion/ request to all tech-reviewers doing all these benchmarks. Please cover the following questions in a simple manner, For ordinary user 1) When you plug in the old USB-peripherals like HP printer-cum-scanner models which were manufactured some 5 years ago and do not have the latest drivers at present but working fine otherwise with the windows computers, Does such devices function properly with this new macs? 2) When you plug in 21" monitors with 1080p and 1440p resolutions with VGA/Displayport inputs dongle/converters Into this machine- Does it work properly or does it give some blurry fonts effect? Because Everyone does not have the money or space to buy latest gigantic 4K monitor. 3) if the 8GB RAM is shared between CPU-GPU, how fast/better is it for Ordinary work compared to the Intel graphics-chip in laptops in dual-monitor setup- Because even though in real life often laptops struggles to work in dual monitor setup when using Google Chrome browser with online meeting/webcam-mic on? Or does every person really need to upgrade to 16GB to Get those very fast results shown /claimed by the company and reviewers? 4) Compared to HP/Dell/Lenovo laptops with SSD in similar price point- Whether this thing is faster or slower or same speed- For ordinary things like Microsoft office and web browsing? 5) Does it smoothly work with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel? 6) While using zoom online meeting, and google 'meet'- How smooth/noiseless/glitch-free it is? How noise-free is the microphone? Because, "it can edit/export the 4K videos in Final Cut Pro in very fast manner" = is not really the matter of life and death for most of the computer users across the world in general and India in particular.
I don't own it, but I have watched many reviews of it. From my research, it is the fastest machine in it's price range regarding normal use. The system is radiculously snapy, you can switch between apps with no delay. I can probably answer a few of your questions: 3) For normal user 16GB will be useless. The guy in the video is doing some really intensive work using 8GB, so web browsing and Office won't need the additional RAM. 5) Even my older Intel Mac works perfectly with it. This one will not be any different (saw some videos of it too). 6) It is a desktop computer, so it doesn't have a built in mic. You would need to use an additional one. I hope I've helped at least a bit :)
I have to see a real test. Throwing 5 minutes of footage on a timeline is nothing. When you have hundreds of clips, effects, compound clips, etc. ram is essential. There’s no architecture around that. Sure, 8 gb in silicon may be better than 8 gb in intel, but it will be nowhere near 16 or 32, and even that can be tight depending on projects.
@@markasplinhq No need to go so far. Most semi pro editors will eventually run into 10, 15, 20 minute projects. Those will need vastly more information in ram at once. It's normal to get a project with hundreds of files even at an amateur level. Testing a 5 minute export with a couple cuts is not the same thing at all. The performance looks outstanding, I can't wait to get one. But it would be nice to see higher ram options. It's also a matter of bottleneck - the cpu is way too good for the amount of ram it has, it's not balanced. The gpu is also nothing special, but it's enough for most video editing, given the cpu.
Yessss, thank you Every Day Dad !! I had to comment because you’ve answered & showed me exactly what I wanted to know about the new M1 Chip!! Which is real time editing 4k project on Final Cut Pro with multiple clips & color grading ... and mostly .. the H.265 Codecs!! Because I am buying the Canon R5 and haven’t upgraded my computer since nothing in the market can edit H.265 smoothly except Ipads & Iphones. Again, Thanks a lot for the amazing demo & informative real time & practical testing 🙏🏻
Really keen to see the base Macbook Air M1. Considering it for editing while travelling. I use a GH5 and GoPros al the time. Keen to be able to use the GoPro HEVC as well.
We just entered into a new age of computing. Cannot wait to see the creativity that these new machines will inspire. Also my 4500 dollar MacBook Pro from earlier this year is crying.
Here is what’s going to happen, I’ll sell both my 5,1 Mac pros with 128gb 64gb RAM + GTX 1080s and I’ll have a stack of cash. I’ll pull the trigger on the Mac mini M1 max specs and immediately Apple will release the Mac mini pro. The cycle will continue.
I’m not TEDD but a budget laptop vs a budget device with an apple chip (say the 8th gen ipad), the budget apple device will be able to edit 4K at a budget price whereas the budget laptop would probably lag with simple tasks like web browsing and if were scale up prices to say a MacBook Pro and lets say, a surface book since its a premium device to, the MacBook Pro would win, and its still a bit cheaper! So I believe apple devices are faster
That remains to be seen... it might mean that the 16Gb is able to handle more streams of, say 4K video at a time. Probably depends on your editing needs. Personally I'd rather stump up the extra cash, headroom is headroom! But YMMV, of course.
@@aquilasky6 I feel 8k is still going to be “future tech” in 2 years. 4K is already so great that it will be a while for 8k to become a standard. But these M1 chips could boost the need for 8k sooner since it could run it so efficiently (potentially)
So, I would never go Apple in the past. I am not a fan of the "ecosystem" or the restrictions. I am a Linux user who resorts to windows only on the work laptop. The price to performance ratio on previous MacBooks was poor. This generation, I feel compelled! By next-gen, with better app compatibility, the MacBook by is going to be a no-brainer. But I am still very apprehensive about entering the ecosystem and spending extra for my peripherals and lack of ports and the general apple issues that happen when apple tries to be extra. If Apple dropped a ThinkPad style MacBook with a great keyboard, and great IO, I'd upgrade today! Maybe use a Linux VM for programming and development and I'll be gooood! So good!
I bought one as a backup edit system, but I am thrilled to hear it works so well. I ponied up for the 16gig of Ram and the 512hd drive ... can't wait until it gets here so I can play with it myself.
I bought the base model M1 MacBook Air and I couldn't be happier. It's darn near perfect, the only thing I'm wishing for is a microSD slot. I added a magnetic adapter to connect all of the I/O to it. Now I'm thinking about one of these base model Mac minis. With all of it's I/O you could put a low profile USB A card reader with microSD card to extend your storage capability at a decent price. I could have a very portable computer and HTPC all rolled into one...
For everyone asking the specs. This is the $700 base model. 8gb ram/256gb storage.
Almost like they didn't understand the "cheapest M1 Mac Mini" part
Waiting for a macbook air m1 with base model specs. 😁
LumaFusion on this should be just as fast I would guess.
omg such a monster......If this can handle video editing so well, cant see the needs for 16gb ram, maybe for those 3D modeling jobs?
What monitor are you using?
Man, if the 1st Gen silicion chips are already this capable imagine what power Apple can dish out in 2 to 3 years. Exciting times !!
exactly
Just imagine when they make their first Mac Pro with their silicon.
So crazy, game changer !

Man.. I would wait for M2 or M3 if I can.. Sadly, I need a new laptop as soon as I can. I've already delayed my purchase by waiting for M1... And it seems like the new M1 Macbooks are going to be a great upgrade!

@@zyciewusatvbygosia8880 this is what i need to know. i’m having such a hard time choosing a monitor. i don’t do gaming or anything and want something affordable, but i don’t just want something cheap that wont be great cause i would be switching from a macbook pro that obviously has a great display..
I'm buying one right now. I just exported a 17-minute video and it took almost 1.5 hours with an i7, 32 gig ram, etc.. Adobe media encoder was maxing the cpu. My only concern is the storage, but I don't care.
Thanks for uploading the video that I actually wanted to see most 👌
Nice! Hope it was worth the wait!
@@TheEverydayDad definitely
thank you so much for this video ---- I was on the fence about getting a video ed computer ---- but now I am for sure getting the mac I was big mac man years ago now I remember why thanks
Apple Silicon just makes me so excited for future Macs! I can't wait for Apple Silicon equipped MacBook Pro 16" :)
Hi man... keyboard model and brand please? 🙏🏼 tnks
Can you let us know how much RAM is used by the system and the programs? I want to know how the unified RAM is used in practice.
I’m watching reviews just to see how everyone is blown away by the M1. I’m excited to see the future of these chips.
How much better Is the Mac mini better for video editing than the iPad air?
Much better. You don't have access to Final Cut on iPad or to advanced softwares like After Effects or anything of the sort. Also the ability to layer and add more effects is something you'll miss out on with the iPad
One hundred times yes. Don’t buy a tablet for video editing.
I'm interested because i found an offer on 600$ usd.
I have my principal PC on windows, but i want a second pc for video editing and work. Do you still recommend it today?
Yes! It is still an insane computer!
Imagine how fast it will be when Apple release their lineup of ASi Macs with dedicated graphics. I wonder if they will also do a Mac Mini Pro 🤔.
It's fast because it's all integrated. You can't connect gpu to the current M1 chip
2 years after you commented this... They kinda did.
I was on the fence for months about getting a Mac mini and after seeing this video I immediately ordered one! Thanks for the great review!
I’m sold, dad. Getting this one ffr.
Quickly becoming my favourite TH-camr - so much more down to earth!
Thanks so much!
How does it do with many layers of text animations? That’s where Final Cut Pro struggles so much!
I agree. Not a great comparison. My 2015 rmbp handles 4k footage no problem, but when I add some color, masks, titles, transitions it slows down a ton. Simple cuts and audio layering doesn't really slow it down as shown here. I'm sure this base mac mini is 2x as fast as my rmbp at minimum, but this isnt a good test. I'll wait for the imac for the 5k extra screen and greater thermal envelope.
I wanna know too!
He’s selling the Mac with an affiliate link in the description. So take what he says here with a grain of salt.
5 minute videos is fine but what about 10-30 minute TH-cam videos/short films in 4K?
@@Station9.75 from the reviews I saw I don’t think that will be an issue. My 15.4 inch MacBook Pro with 16 gb ram has a hard time when I use layers of text animations and layers from pixel film studios (fan gets super loud and renders forever) ... I wonder how M1 performs ... I’m really on a fence about picking one up but don’t have answers to all my questions yet :(
Appreciate the demo :) Ordered the base M1 Mini earlier today as an upgrade to my Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina. Gonna be absolutely fine for editing my 4K drone footage. Delivery due tomorrow .... can't wait!
I m a beginner developer should i get the 16 gb version given i m aiming for next 5yrs
8gb is enough today but not in 5 years.
I guess 8 gb ram enough for this m1 mac ecosystem like ios vs android. But i still advised you to wait for m2 atleast.
Yes! Get the 16gb! Don’t wait either, everytime you wait people are just gonna tell you to wait again! If you keep waiting you won’t ever get anything! There’s always gonna be something new, get what you want when you want it and enjoy that shit!
@@My-by while it's true that everyone always tells you to wait for the next generation, it's also true that the ARM CPU is a first for the mac platform. I've heard some developers being concerned about the lack of some.. developer stuff, I suppose. One of the things mentioned was Homebrew, whatever that is. Yeah, you could try to get it, but in general, a first-generation product is usually the best generation to skip, too. Those seem like really powerful machines, though with the intensity of today's changes it's a bit too much to predict what will last 5 years and what will not.
If you have the money, go for it. Never hurts to have 16gb especially as a developer
How does it perform compared to an iPad Pro?
Yup. This looks like my next Mac. DaVinci Resolve also seems a winner, based on Blackmagic's announcement.
@@WestBendNews DaVinci Resolve beta is already M1 compatible.
A very valuable help. I'm so glad you made this video. Thanks!
Out of pure curiosity...can you try running Lumafusion with the new update on the Mac Mini to see how it performs vs the iPad Pro?
The exact video I needed thank you!
I wonder if could run DaVinci resolve fusion?
they've recoded it for M1
...15:34 Macbook Mini??? LOL Great video. I'm sold. Was looking at the new 2020 iPad Air but maybe having second thoughts for Raw Sony photo editing (I have two MBP's).
Man so tempting! I'm just waiting for the optimization of Davinci Resolve
There is a version 17 optimized for M1!
@@LaszloParkanyi yeah I have it!
I have the M1 MacBook Air right now with 8gb ram and the beta 17 Davinci.
Works really good!
Man this is amazing!
Shame you didn’t do more tracks and see the limits .
Yeah that would have been very informative
Beyond, waaaaaaay beyond, breathtaking. And the saddest part? You'll still, still, get PC users slagging it off and computer companies pushing the PC (for various profit-related reasons). Brilliant video; thanks so much. :-D
Hi, awesome video, thanks a lot. What are your thoughts on saving $$$ on GB inbuilt storage and putting it towards bigger external SSD such as T5?
I think that's the better option.
Did you say you could not put a bigger hard drive in this yourself?
I need someone to do an After Effects review with the M1 devices. Please
I use adobe as well. I need to have a go with the CC apps on an M1 mini but I'm seriously considering replacing my aged mac pro with one...
And Premiere Pro
Just bought my 2nd M1. Thanks for your review!

The winner here is Nvidia for buying ARM.

@@vishnubhramashiva4110 How does Nvidia benefit from Apple using ARM architecture in their processors? It’s not like Apple is buying the processors from them. Apple made their own in-house chip BASED on ARM, not buying chips from them to be included in the macs.
@@numetheus ARM is getting getting paid by Apple through licensing fees for using their architecture. Nvidia buying ARM means that Apple will have to pay licesning fees to Nvidia.
@@vishnubhramashiva4110 ARM is an open licensing model
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that this Mac Mini is editing 4K footage with a measly 8GB of RAM? My Ryzen setup with 16GB of RAM still chokes on 4K occasionally, and this beast is just taking it in stride!
Some pretty wild stuff man and it's crazy because in an interview done by The Tech Chap with 2 Apple employees, they said they're a product company not a chip manufacturing company and that's saying. To get the maximum performance from less wattage it's just mind boggling. And this is just the first generation of chips, Apple's all about evolution over revolution. I saw 3 Windows 10 concepts and was super salty because of how good it looks and as a die hard Windows user I'm tempted greatly to switch seeing as I've had experience with a Unibody MacBook Air from 2010
Apple’s chip division is actually large enough to start to rival AMD and Intel, because Apple is that big of a company.
@@rivengle a month ago I was introduced to Apple, now my friend calling me a fanboy
Was looking into getting a Desktop Mac to use for video editing at home and make my current MBP as my travel editor, but I’m so happy I waited, for sure getting this as I already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Thank you so much for this video
It is my humble suggestion/ request to all tech-reviewers doing all these benchmarks.
Please cover the following questions in a simple manner, For ordinary user
1) When you plug in the old USB-peripherals like HP printer-cum-scanner models which were manufactured some 5 years ago and do not have the latest drivers at present but working fine otherwise with the windows computers, Does such devices function properly with this new macs?
2) When you plug in 21" monitors with 1080p and 1440p resolutions with VGA/Displayport inputs dongle/converters Into this machine- Does it work properly or does it give some blurry fonts effect? Because Everyone does not have the money or space to buy latest gigantic 4K monitor.
3) if the 8GB RAM is shared between CPU-GPU, how fast/better is it for Ordinary work compared to the Intel graphics-chip in laptops in dual-monitor setup- Because even though in real life often laptops struggles to work in dual monitor setup when using Google Chrome browser with online meeting/webcam-mic on? Or does every person really need to upgrade to 16GB to Get those very fast results shown /claimed by the company and reviewers?
4) Compared to HP/Dell/Lenovo laptops with SSD in similar price point- Whether this thing is faster or slower or same speed- For ordinary things like Microsoft office and web browsing?
5) Does it smoothly work with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel?
6) While using zoom online meeting, and google 'meet'- How smooth/noiseless/glitch-free it is? How noise-free is the microphone?
Because, "it can edit/export the 4K videos in Final Cut Pro in very fast manner" = is not really the matter of life and death for most of the computer users across the world in general and India in particular.
I don't own it, but I have watched many reviews of it. From my research, it is the fastest machine in it's price range regarding normal use. The system is radiculously snapy, you can switch between apps with no delay. I can probably answer a few of your questions:
3) For normal user 16GB will be useless. The guy in the video is doing some really intensive work using 8GB, so web browsing and Office won't need the additional RAM.
5) Even my older Intel Mac works perfectly with it. This one will not be any different (saw some videos of it too).
6) It is a desktop computer, so it doesn't have a built in mic. You would need to use an additional one.
I hope I've helped at least a bit :)
Will it work smoothly for after effect?
so usually 8GB of ram would be atrocious these days for video editing, but this M1 Chip has me so confused 🤯
It’s only video editing. It’s not like you need to have 20 tabs open in chrome.
I have to see a real test. Throwing 5 minutes of footage on a timeline is nothing. When you have hundreds of clips, effects, compound clips, etc. ram is essential. There’s no architecture around that. Sure, 8 gb in silicon may be better than 8 gb in intel, but it will be nowhere near 16 or 32, and even that can be tight depending on projects.
you shouldn't be confused! when 8gb of ram costs $200 ... you can get 64gb of ram on a pc for that price and be just fine :D
@@visualstudiosproductions i think this is more aimed at the semi-pro editor not the Dolby Vision colorist ;)
@@markasplinhq No need to go so far. Most semi pro editors will eventually run into 10, 15, 20 minute projects. Those will need vastly more information in ram at once. It's normal to get a project with hundreds of files even at an amateur level. Testing a 5 minute export with a couple cuts is not the same thing at all. The performance looks outstanding, I can't wait to get one. But it would be nice to see higher ram options. It's also a matter of bottleneck - the cpu is way too good for the amount of ram it has, it's not balanced. The gpu is also nothing special, but it's enough for most video editing, given the cpu.
Yessss, thank you Every Day Dad !!
I had to comment because you’ve answered & showed me exactly what I wanted to know about the new M1 Chip!!
Which is real time editing 4k project on Final Cut Pro with multiple clips & color grading ... and mostly .. the H.265 Codecs!! Because I am buying the Canon R5 and haven’t upgraded my computer since nothing in the market can edit H.265 smoothly except Ipads & Iphones.
Again, Thanks a lot for the amazing demo & informative real time & practical testing 🙏🏻
Are you running 4k downscaled to 1440p? This is the config I struggle the most with my current Mac Mini i5, awful and choppy performance.
No it’s not downscaled or encoded. This is raw 4K.
Really keen to see the base Macbook Air M1. Considering it for editing while travelling. I use a GH5 and GoPros al the time. Keen to be able to use the GoPro HEVC as well.
We just entered into a new age of computing. Cannot wait to see the creativity that these new machines will inspire.
Also my 4500 dollar MacBook Pro from earlier this year is crying.
Thank you for the video, man. VERY useful and informative! I'm definitely taking that Mac Mini M1!

@@michaelbaldwin5953 Lmaoooo
Here is what’s going to happen, I’ll sell both my 5,1 Mac pros with 128gb 64gb RAM + GTX 1080s and I’ll have a stack of cash. I’ll pull the trigger on the Mac mini M1 max specs and immediately Apple will release the Mac mini pro. The cycle will continue.
Yeah the Mac Studio! Called it lol
@@TJWasiuk haha wow yeah that prediction definitely panned out how I thought it would! Also my M1 is still holding up well!
I wanna see the mac air's performance
See Renée Ritchie's latest YT video for some early benchmarks. I think you'll like them
The air is super impressive. If I were to go for one it would be the air.
Exciting times...as a current user of an older Mac Mini that doesn’t quite cut it anymore.. I’ll definitely be ordering one
*You didn’t answer the question tho can you use this for daily 4k video editing or not?*
Wonder how this will do with live streaming with OBS?
Can you show the performance with Premiere, please??!!!
Upgrade to Final Cut Pro or at least Resolve. Get off of Premiere.
Man! You are my constant favourite tech TH-camr! Lovely stuff. Just the way a tech video should be
TEDD, are Macs coming out more powerful and better than a Dell XPS or other intel computer?
time will tell
I’m not TEDD but a budget laptop vs a budget device with an apple chip (say the 8th gen ipad), the budget apple device will be able to edit 4K at a budget price whereas the budget laptop would probably lag with simple tasks like web browsing and if were scale up prices to say a MacBook Pro and lets say, a surface book since its a premium device to, the MacBook Pro would win, and its still a bit cheaper! So I believe apple devices are faster
Great video! Got one coming too, excited
Thanks! And that's awesome I hope you enjoy yours!
so the $200 for an extra 8GB of RAM probably isn’t even worth it if you were able to export 4K video so easily
That remains to be seen... it might mean that the 16Gb is able to handle more streams of, say 4K video at a time. Probably depends on your editing needs. Personally I'd rather stump up the extra cash, headroom is headroom! But YMMV, of course.
As of now u can....but after 2 years......ahhh
@@WORLDINONEGO unless 8K had become the mainstream ouch
@@aquilasky6 I feel 8k is still going to be “future tech” in 2 years. 4K is already so great that it will be a while for 8k to become a standard. But these M1 chips could boost the need for 8k sooner since it could run it so efficiently (potentially)

So, I would never go Apple in the past. I am not a fan of the "ecosystem" or the restrictions. I am a Linux user who resorts to windows only on the work laptop. The price to performance ratio on previous MacBooks was poor. This generation, I feel compelled! By next-gen, with better app compatibility, the MacBook by is going to be a no-brainer. But I am still very apprehensive about entering the ecosystem and spending extra for my peripherals and lack of ports and the general apple issues that happen when apple tries to be extra. If Apple dropped a ThinkPad style MacBook with a great keyboard, and great IO, I'd upgrade today! Maybe use a Linux VM for programming and development and I'll be gooood! So good!

I was using only the iPad Pro for video editing. Now I'm using the New M1 Mac Mini and it performs great.
I bought one as a backup edit system, but I am thrilled to hear it works so well. I ponied up for the 16gig of Ram and the 512hd drive ... can't wait until it gets here so I can play with it myself.
I bought the base model M1 MacBook Air and I couldn't be happier. It's darn near perfect, the only thing I'm wishing for is a microSD slot. I added a magnetic adapter to connect all of the I/O to it. Now I'm thinking about one of these base model Mac minis. With all of it's I/O you could put a low profile USB A card reader with microSD card to extend your storage capability at a decent price. I could have a very portable computer and HTPC all rolled into one...
is 16gb unified memory and 512 memory good enough to edit 4k videos on
Yes
