Apple MacBook Pro 16'', 2019 Model (1TB SSD 16GB Intel Core i9) - MVVM2LL/A.
REASON TO SELL:
I recently graduated and started freelancing as a professional video editor for short and feature films. I had to purchase a newer model of M1 chip to "earn my bread" in a smoother way without proxy!
While at school, I relied mostly on the Macs they had, and took great care of this personal laptop. When I did edit on this, it has been super reliable. It can run Premiere smoothly for my films under 10 minutes (~ 800 GB of footage, 4-5 sound tracks, 5-6 visual tracks, proxy). The speed tends to slow down in the final stages of adding title cards/ coloring in, but definitely reliable. Same with FCP and Photoshop, super reliable.
Unfortunately, when I started my first professional gig, it had more complicated sound mixing demands (e.g. with 12 sound tracks). It began to slow down too much.
In February 2023, I conducted a system evaluation at Apple. There's no issues detected in either its software or hardware conditions. So I decided...it might just be time for me to re-invest to meet my new needs.
