    I would rather get the 15" 2019 model. (Not the 16", 15". They sold it for a few months). You can get one maxed out in near perfect condition for 1K USD. CPU increases from 8th to 9th gen and cooling is also improved. (You also get an extra year of OS updates too!)

    03:55 You can activate a "dumbed-down" mode for the touchbar that makes it act just like function keys would. 05:40 Funnily enough, it was actually Apple's strange decision to make the display flex cable smaller that resulted in it breaking and maybe working in weird angles. One of the oddest gates from Apple, IMO. 06:58 It is BIZARRE how much FCPX is optimized to run on anything. I've never seen a mac not run FCPX at some relatively good capacity. 08:29 OCLP! Especially since this mac is very native

    It was smooth when I was doing my 1080p editing. It could depend on the specs of the computer you’re getting. You can lookup your video editing software and the recommended specs on google. Either way with a 2018 MacBook Pro you should be fine.

    Editing 1080 is no problem. Your main issue is will apple support Final Cut Pro or iMovie on it. If you had this machine a few years ago and had an older video editing version, then it will work. But right now, I’m not sure if the newest versions support it. You will have to check

    It should realistically get you 7-8hrs of battery life if the battery health is at or above 85%. If battery is important to you I would recommend saving for a used m2 15” MacBook Air. They are about $900.

    You got a backlight issue with your screen just go to apple and by law they change your entire screen for free as they've done this to me cuz the 2017/18 got a screen recall + tell them to replace you keyboard keys for free as there was a recall for it too Done both for my 2017 laptop for free under the consumer law ( 6 years from purchase)
