with that price, get the i9, 2 gtx1080ti i presume ,

Normally I'd recommend my friends to go for a desktop for video editing. Either a Mac Pro or an iMac Pro or most of the time they end up with a hackintosh if they're using FCP. Or just plain old Windows if they use Premiere, AE or Canopus stuff. Sorry Grass Valley, I'm so used to the old name.

If your options are limited to those 2, both not worth it.

wow, usually people do heavy work at main office and only discuss matters with client...you are living in 2037 already...lol...
imo... customize the apple website, get the i7, 16gb ram, 512+ external storage (to save some budget) or 1tb ssd

OR

get the most powerful dell precision with quadro gc..i think that would be fine as well...

some basic calculation here, if your laptop is worth 10k, then productivity should be at least 10 times or more than that...

at least...the lower the ratio of cost/revenue ,the better...( idk my economics understanding is correct or not )

ooo, wedding video..that stuff couldn't wait I bet you...it was happening decades ago.
Still, if it worth 10k of the laptop...go for it....wait no more, stop replying to this thread and start buying...once you bought it, share us your experience

couple of suggestion as per below link

in my opinion, Radeo pro 560 are not powerful enough compared to even gtx 1050ti and above.
I'm not expert and I don't know how the video editing utilize the graphic card and etc.
But if ram is concern, I would reckon to use the DDR4, go for at least 6gb VRAM card and powerful cpu and SSD is a must.
if you need faster storage go for Samsung NVRAM SSD PCIE, costly but deadly extreme in speed.

Still, the mac os sierra might overcome the hardware utilization and maximize the output, like all the apple os alwasy do.

Try view couple of video from youtube before making a solid decision.

All newer mac book Pro can handle video editing no problem

Especially when wedding videos will mostl be done on Premiere or FCP X I guess? No 3D or AE involved

I think your bigger question is not the 2.9 or 2.8 ghz
Consider the internal memory also

If I am u, since u are already spending this amount, go for the whole hog and take the higher spec one lah 😊

Then the 2.8 should be okay (I have checked on apple website again)

But Bro, u sure 512 gb okay?

If I am spending that much, I will buy the 1tb to make sure it’s future proof for at least three to five years to come

Especially with High bit rate raw and 4k videos now
Better go for 1tb

My company cloud 4th just got full recently, it’s surprising how much data we capture nowadays
Side note : recent d850 Nikon for instance, every raw is 100mb 😱

macbook can handle 4k video  editing ? just asking...

Yeah man

That’s the thing I’m thinking
Sometimes may not have time to transfer out to external

And sometimes while editing one project then another client wants another project done then u have two projects running or what

This happened to me last week but wasn’t photos on lightroom
My MacBook Pro left 10gb Free space only that time

And external hard drive can be troublesome sometimes

Two weeks ago we shot on a7s2 for about three hours of rolling plus a6500 as B cam
Two Camera add up to more than 100gb

File size is very big now...

If for work, just pick the top spec. Your work soon can cover back your equipment and expenses, but lousy equipments will not cover back your work reputation.

2 things in mind, focus on higher ram and graphic card. Graphic card now can be omitted with the eGPU. Look at below link, sadly it's not official support in Malaysia but soon I believe here will have. Or you can get 3rd party eGPU or lazada store, it would work as well. For now, macbook or laptop can be as powerful as desktop, thanks to eGPU, of course you need extra money
