Hello,

I am looking to buy a new laptop for working in Avid and have narrowed it down to these two computers. My preference is the Apple operating system, but what is most important to me is the processing power and speed of the computer when working with Avid. Curious what everyone's thoughts are? Thank you!

Razer Blade 15 - QHD 240Hz - GeForce RTX 3060 - £2,599.99

Specifications

• 1.8GHz 14-core Intel i7-12800H processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz, with 24MB of Cache
• 15.6" QHD 240Hz, 100% DCI-P3, G-Sync, 2.5ms, individually factory calibrated
• NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 (6GB GDDR6 VRAM)
• 1TB SSD (M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4)
• 16 GB DDR5 4800MHz dual-channel memory (will probably upgrade to 32gb)

• Apple M1 Pro with 10-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine
• 32GB unified memory
• 1TB SSD storage
• 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display

Both look good, but could be overkill if you're just using it for offline editing? What do you plan to use this laptop for? What will you be editing? What kind of codecs?

I would suggest a minimum of 32 GB of ram.

I plan to do offline and online editing with it. I will be editing with 4K ProRes footage. 

Thank you for the link. That's helpful!
