While it's not as easily quantifiable as speed, it's its stability and reliability that have made the biggest impression on us. We've produced about 40 videos with the MacBook Air so far and can attest to its merits as a video editing computer. It may not sound like much, but thanks to built-in H.264 and H.265 video encoding, faster unified memory, and DaVinci Resolve's optimizations for the M1 processor, the Air can happily edit 4K video like a far more powerful computer.

We first bought the base model MacBook Air with the M1 processor, 7 GPU cores, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. But when Apple's shift to ARM happened, and we saw the potential it had for video work on a better-optimized platform, we decided to give it a go. Our computers have been custom-built PCs with Nvidia cards. We won't get into too much detail, but we started off with Sony's Vegas editor, struggled for a few years with Adobe's Premiere, and have now mostly turned to DaVinci Resolve as our editor of choice. We've strived to improve it constantly over the years. So it's very important that we have a streamlined workflow. To put things into perspective we churn out about 2 hours of video each month and we get that video from close to 5 hours of B-roll produced by our video crew.

Our YouTube channel has grown to 1.5 million subscribers and we publish about three videos per week. We're very serious about reviewing phones, both in written and video form.
