MacBook Air Review

Final Cut open on a MacBook Air with an external SSD.

About this work

A short 2018 test of editing 4K footage on the base-model MacBook Air. Kraig uses Final Cut and an external SSD to finish a wedding film and a ten-minute vlog, then compares the experience with his usual computer. The review focuses on everyday editing responsiveness, slower rendering and exports, and the storage tradeoff of a smaller travel laptop.
