My friend is on the market for a new laptop for video editing and he insists that there's nothing better than a MacBook Pro. I'm having a lot of trouble because of all these faggy gamer laptops out there to rec him something better than a MBP.

if he was serious about video editing he wouldn't be looking at laptops

don't be friends with a macfag youtuber, OP. you're better than that

Why don't you just let your friend make his own decisions?

He actually lives in Thailand and all his video editing is for videos of what his organization does to save kids from the sex trade. He kind of needs a laptop because he can't get graphics cards and PSI's shipped to him when they crash.

If he's using FCP X, then yea. That shit is godlike with the optimization.

Nah, he's on Premiere. He likes FCP, but he likes to stick to Adobe he says.

I feel kind of bad for him because he genuinely wants to break out of OSX, but he can't get around the fact that every over powered laptop out there is a gaming laptop with a stupid touch screen and rainbow keyboard.

make him get an old thinkpad and instll linux mint, openshot is a great video editor.

Go for lower end workstation laptops? Why does he want to get out of OS X?

No need to thank me.

He's really just sick of Apple as a company for the most part. He also feels like he could get significantly more bang for his buck if he gets something else. Like I said, he's in Thailand with hardly any money, so he needs to get what he can work with financially.

He definitely has a budget of around $2000 though.

>(((humanitarian))) shitter taking in donations from around the world
>wasting money on Appleshit
This is why I tell people charities are a fucking scam.

lol i guess he's alright

Good luck, high quality 4K is on its way to ream you from your 8GB of ram.

You and your braindead friend realize the reason they have pictures of the keyboard in rainbow colors is to show that each key's backlight is completely customizable right?

Yeah, but it's a gimmick.

Keep buying trash with eye searing 100% brightness uncustomizable backlights then faggot.

He can spec out a Dell Precision 5510 mobile workstation with the top i7, M1000M, 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD for 1800.

and then watch it struggle to run davinci without proxies

He's using Premiere.

>M1000M
>for 1800

kys

So far he's the most impressed with the Gigabyte.

>M1000M
You're right, that's actually a bad deal. The Precision 15 7510 can be had with the same 6820HQ, M2000M, 16GB DDR4, and 256GB NVMe SSD for the same price. Weird.

Probably because he's a moron.

>He kind of needs a laptop because he can't get graphics cards and PSI's shipped to him when they crash

tell him to stop buying Novideo cards and he won't have that problem

I'd be looking for a large monitor (both resolution and physical size) and a decent video card for video editing tbqh familam.

It's going to depend on what he's editing. Somehow I doubt a human trafficking charity is shooting 4k video with pro camera crews. He's probably editing cellphone captures.

So you need a new laptop to watch your 14 year old gook tranny porn? Copy that. ThinkPad T420.

>tfw that's literally what i use my t420 for

Pedos not welcome.

They actually got a shitload of camera equipment donated. I don't know the particular models of the cameras, but it's definitely quality video that captures footage with fuckhueg file sizes.

>Pedos not welcome.
>all the board ever talks about is m-m-m-muh encryption m-m-m-muh privasee!!!

So what do they do with it? I imagined most footage was captured 'in the moment', I didn't think they would have crews going around taping this stuff. Have you got an example of his work?

They're a fairly small organization, so I'd rather keep them fairly anonymous. A lot of their stuff is videos showing off the facility they bring the kids to where they do their education and showing some of the programs they do to help the kids live normal lives once their old enough.

They also film some of their rescues, where they go through dense jungles to some village that's been whoring out its kids and legally taking them away.

>They're a fairly small organization, so I'd rather keep them fairly anonymous
That sounds like the opposite of what a charity would want.

>They also film some of their rescues, where they go through dense jungles to some village that's been whoring out its kids and legally taking them away.

ITT turf warfs

It is, but I don't think it's a good idea to share the identity of an organization that saves kids from pedos on a board that definitely has a fair amount of faggot pedophiles.

Because? I'm sure the pedophiles know about them.

>implying most pedophiles would do anything about it

I have a feeling pedos are not gonna bomb them.

Have him get a Clevo. They'll run circles around any other laptop and don't look faggy.

>He kind of needs a laptop because he can't get graphics cards and PSI's shipped to him when they crash.

But when his MacBook crashes it is different? At least with a desktop computer you can change the parts (unless it's an apple computer then you have to trash the whole thing)

>unless it's an apple computer then you have to trash the whole thing
This shit is so fucking annoying.
