In case you were curious, no I did not buy this just because of my channel. I did buy it because my hp took a shit and would no longer see networks, so it wouldn't connect to the internet and I decided it was time to invest in an Apple computer.
I've used both PCs and Apples in the past, and in my experience, apples are much more user friendly. They're not hard to figure out, and it's an added plus that they come with an easy to use video editor (iMovie).
The apple computer I decided to choose is the 13" Macbook Pro with Retina display, and I upgraded from the starting Ram of 4GB to 8GB because they say 8 is the minimum for doing a lot of editing.
Let me tell you my process of deciding, because to start off with, it was between this beauty and a Macbook Air (also 13").
The Macbook Pro also comes in 15" but i thought that was a bit big, and the Macbook air also comes in 11" but i thought that was a bit small, so that's how i picked the size of the screen; real exciting stuff I know.
The Macbook air is lighter and thinner and just as beautiful. Honestly my original thought was that I would get the Air because it's also a hundred dollars cheaper than the Pro with only 4GB.
But then I started looking up reviews and truly the only big difference people kept mentioning was that the Pro had a better display since in the newest version is a Retina display, which basically means that if you're looking at the screen at an angle, it doesn't get dark. It's also a bit of a clearer picture.
Well I thought that since I'll be doing a lot of editing on this computer, the display is pretty important so I came to the decision to get a Macbook Pro. I went into the store not thinking I was going to move up into the 8GB of Ram realm, but my grandma, boyfriend, and the guy behind the counter convinced me to move up since I would be doing a lot of editing.
So although I didn't pick a Mac because I will be editing videos, I did choose this specific Mac keeping the fact that I would be editing videos in mind.
I am SO excited to start filming! I now have an intro set up that my wonderful boyfriend created from scratch because he's an awesome designer, so that's done. We just have to finish my background for videos once it stops raining here in California! And my microphone should be here by March 8!
Hope to "see" you all soon!
