Q: Will final cut pro run well on a Macbook air with the best configuration?
Good afternoon,
I am thinking of buying a new laptop. Do you think that a macbook Air with the configuration below will be enough to work well with Final Cut Pro? My footage are generally in AVCHD.
13-inch MacBook Air
- 2.2GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz
- Intel HD Graphics 6000
- 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM
- 512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
- Backlit Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
Thanks a lot for your answers!

What Russ said. However, have you considered a MacBook Pro? For $50 (US) more you would have 2.9 Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 512 SSD, a retina display. Plus, 2 TB ports and an HDMI port. Also better graphics. The 2.9 i5 should be comparable if not superior to the 2.2 i7. Unless you have a special deal on the MBA, the economics suggest that the Pro is a better deal. Just a suggestion. Good luck.
