Can a MacBook Air 2014 edit video?

I'm looking for a cheap laptop that will edit video on DaVinci Resolve and have come across a Macbook Air 2014 with the following specs:

Storage:256GB
Hard Drive Type:SSD
CPU:i5-4260U
RAM:8GB
Operating System:Catalina
Generation:6,1
Screen Size:11"

I will be editing video taken on my iPhone 12 mini. Would this macbook air be capable of editing the footage relatively smoothly?

Next step to take after a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) My MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) is almost 10 years old, runs Big Sur and works great-but has a few screen glitches now and then. But after 10 years, I'm thinking the newer Macs must be faster, etc but which one? Do I jump right into the 2021 or 2022 model (ouch on the price) or something older? I'd like to make sure there is a significant difference between my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) and the next step up. But what exactly should that be? I do alot of video editing with Final Cut Pro and iMovie, I really miss the old Soundtrack Pro, but use Garageband, and lots of internet use. I'm not sure if I can afford the latest 2021 or 2022 MacBook Pro and sometimes wonder if a newer iPad Pro would work for me. I can live with using iMovie if the iPad lends itself to better portability for video creation. I'm sure there are many options that are superior to what I have now, so it's somewhat overwhelming. Any suggestions on the next step to take after a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)? Thanks in advance!!
