is a M1/M2 MacBook Air with 16GB RAM enough for running Premiere Pro I’m currently using a 2020 intel 13’ MBA (base model with 8GB RAM)for college work and some light graphic design work with illustrator, but have recently started to edit HD and 4K videos with premiere pro cc for an internship job, which my MBA could not handle. I am now looking to upgrade to either a new M1 or M2 MBA. Getting a MBP is out of the question, as my budget is limited. I was thinking to upgrade to 16GB RAM for either the M1/M2 MBA, and was wondering if 1) such a setup will be enough for at least HD video editing work on premiere pro cc, and 2) if the performance between M1 and M2 is worth paying extra money for it. If the extra info helps, I do need to use graphic animation templates in video editing, but usually video length won’t exceed 5 minutes. Would appreciate any help!

Comparing new Air vs Pro for graphic design work Trying to compare the new MacBook Air 15" or a Macbook Pro 14" I work professionally as a graphic designer and working with quite large files going between InDesign, Photoshop and InDesign. No video work. I currently have a gaming PC that we upgraded the graphics card at home and want something more portable for times I need to work from home. Files are kept in the cloud. Here are the 2 models I'm considering between: MacBook Air 15" - 16GB memory, 512GB SSD (8 core CPU, 10 core GPU) MacBook Pro 14" - 16GB memory, 512GB SSD (10 core CPU, 16 core GPU)

Using new MacBook Air for graphic design? Will the new MacBook Air be good enough to handle running heavy graphics programs like adobe in design, Photoshop, illustrator, and the Microsoft office suite all at the same time? I’ve always had MacBook Pros, but I like the thinner, lighter package of the MacBook Air now with the 15 inch screen. The new MacBook Pro’s are just thicker and heavier than I want to carry around. I don’t need all the extra connectivity. I just need a good CPU in a thin package.

Yes it's 24.3. And no, no Rosetta.

"heavy CPU Usage," "numerous apps crashing" and a "large number of system modifications." That'll be Cubase then I imagine.

Small update: I just created two new A4 sized files in Photoshop with the GPU switched on. The first was completely black, the second was partially black, with a black bar at the bottom.
