Anyone know if the 13” or 16” M1 MacBook Pro can playback & edit 4K video well?
Would I need to get it with 16 GB of memory?
For context, I’m on the lower-end 2017 MacBook Air, and it’s not able to smoothly playback 4K 30 video from my GoPro Hero 9. I don’t think it will even work if I try 4K 60, and definitely not 5K.
Thanks!

You still might have issues editing 4k with the M1. Many professionals have moved to M1 and back to their intel based systems because as soon as you start pushing the M1, it falls flat. 16gb of ram is not enough for heavy lifting of 4k plus video!

Interesting. I'm hearing different stories now. Even for short video clips from my GoPro, you think I'll have trouble with the M1 at 16GB?
