      The base M1 chip was already pretty good for 4k video editing (even on 8gb version in some cases), so yeah the M3 will be pretty good as long as you aren’t trying to edit RED RAW footage or something.

      2099 Canadian dollar both are same
      1 American $= 1.36 Canadian dollar

    The thought I have is about the keys themselves getting soiled with finger oils. I also heard that Apple will request you to send the laptop into them for repair of the keyboard at least on past models with sticky keys and dead response. Apple seems broken with the basic necessities like smooth buttery typing experiences all the time but this is my experiences on the m1 iPad Pro as I have not purchased this MacBook Pro variant. Oils develop on a non-olephobic Magic Keyboard quickly. I am also constantly brushing away debris all the time and you definitely need a microfiber cloth.

      Fixed it. Some of it was a paste from other videos I had done and I didn't properly fix it to fit this one.

    I’d be plenty pi**ed if I’d spent that kind of money on Space Black just to get grey, I was actually considering getting the Pro version just for the black but no chance now I’ll probably swerve this and wait for the M3 Air as it will be quite a few years before decent gaming is worth buying a MBP for. Actually, I might wait and see what happens with Qualcomm’s Oryon chip in laptops, looks in most cases equal to Apple silicon in some cases better than. Apple’s chip reign didn’t last long.

    So disappointed to see light space black is. An interesting marketing tactic to get people interested in the M3 Macbook Pro. I would have preferred to see midnight instead like we got on the Macbook Airs.
