Mac for video editing, college, and storage on a budget?

I need helping finding a good mac for editing videos and being a full time college student work load. I’m kind of on a budget and just don’t know where to start with looking for something that’ll last me long, work fast, be efficient and has a lot of storage for my projects. Thank you

Welcome and thank you for sharing your concerns, f4etrap. 😉


A MacBook Air sounds just about right.


The M series System On a Chip (SoC) architecture eliminates unnecessary elements that causes slow performance and noisy fans.


As a result, no components are replaceable.


You must choose the maximum amount of storage and memory you need (now and in the future) that you can afford (that’s what I did back in 2021) and I have no regrets.


The most difficult decision for me was the color.

In your case, you have 4 colors to choose from.
