    So many people make a big deal about a video being perfectly edited with no mistakes and the truth is I enjoyed your honest open genuine review way more then all that ' professional' stuff lol very helpful indeed! I am picking up a 256 13inch 8th gen 2020 mac but I'm wondering if I should pay extra for a m1 chip instead of the Intel chip. I do quite heavy editing so I think I may need this! Could I still do a decent bit of editing on the 8th gen mac?

      Thank you so much for such a nice comment I’m trying to work my way through the comment section to answer Qs, if you heavy into editing and want to spend that additional then I recommend maybe going for the M1 I’m not too sure how much they are going for on the market but after I personally ran with the M1 via my iPad it’s the perfect chipset but at the same time the 8th gen Intel are not to bad at all since my 7th gen edited videos perfectly fine

    Just got one for $230 after shipping. 100% functional as well, pretty happy with myself. It’s really not bad for the money on the used market.

      Your welcome bud, I’m planning a more detailed look at the 2017 MacBook now I have officially purchased one as a company so will be looking into the power and productivity of the device. (Which I can tell you for a 2017 MacBook for its price nowadays it’s worth it)

      I think it’s a great laptop overall especially for the price you can get it for nowadays.
      I bought the MacBook Pro 2017 for GeoPCs for all my website design work etc for clients and it hasent let me down.
      Just don’t be rough with the laptop lid, don’t shut it hard or do anything that can overall damage the cable.
      If your local to my business in the UK let me know and I’ll swap any thermal paste and give it a internal clean to keep the temps down so it won’t affect the flex cable on the monitor
