My friend is on the market for a new laptop for video editing

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

>>57541410
Why don't you just let your friend make his own decisions?

>>57541453
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.

>>57541410
If he's using FCP X, then yea. That shit is godlike with the optimization.

>>57541474
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.

>>57541531
Go for lower end workstation laptops? Why does he want to get out of OS X?

No need to thank me.

>>57541617
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.

>>57541473
lol i guess he's alright

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

>>57541531
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?

>>57541720
Yeah, but it's a gimmick.

>>57541784
Keep buying trash with eye searing 100% brightness uncustomizable backlights then faggot.

>>57541647
He can spec out a Dell Precision 5510 mobile workstation with the top i7, M1000M, 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD for 1800.

>>57541820

and then watch it struggle to run davinci without proxies

>>57541850
He's using Premiere.

>>57541820
>M1000M
>for 1800

kys

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

>>57541861
>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.

>>57541915

Probably because he's a moron.

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.

>>57541980
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.

>My friend

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

>>57542017
>tfw that's literally what i use my t420 for

>>57542032
Pedos not welcome.

>>57542010
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.

>>57542048
>Pedos not welcome.
>all the board ever talks about is m-m-m-muh encryption m-m-m-muh privasee!!!

>>57542076
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?

>>57542220
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.

>>57542311

That sounds like the opposite of what a charity would want.

ITT turf warfs

>>57542326
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.

>>57542350
Because? I'm sure the pedophiles know about them.

>>57542350
>implying most pedophiles would do anything about it

I have a feeling pedos are not gonna bomb them.

>>57541410
Have him get a Clevo. They'll run circles around any other laptop and don't look faggy.

>>57541473
>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)

>>57543584
>unless it's an apple computer then you have to trash the whole thing
This shit is so fucking annoying.
