Edit Entry — Media Tracker

Summary

After over a decade of editing exclusively on high-end PC laptops, I decided to pick up the 14" MacBook Pro equipped with the top-tier M5 Pro chip (20-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 24GB Unified Memory, and 2TB SSD).

Coming from a 64GB RAM PC with an RTX 5080 GPU, my biggest question was: Is 24GB of unified memory actually enough for professional 4K/6K video editing?

In this video, I share my real-world experience over the last couple of months using DaVinci Resolve on macOS, why switching was partly a business move for content creation, battery life performance, editing off internal vs. external SSDs, and pairing it with the iVANKY Thunderbolt 5 Dock for a multi-monitor desk setup.
