Klaus Digital recently took on an upgrade project for a 2012 MacBook Pro 15". The use case was as a video editing machine. The original 4GB RAM and older 7200RPM 500GB spinning hard drive were the bottlenecks in this particular MacBook. To gain vastly improved performance, Klaus Digital upgraded the RAM to 16GB 1600MHz (this was the minimum RAM requirement for this use case). A now widely used trick regarding hard drives is to replace the often obsolete (most editing is cloud based or external drives are used these days) DVD-RW optical drive with a second Solid State Drive. This MacBook was upgraded to contain dual Solid State Drives (1 x 120GB and 1 x 480GB). This provided just enough storage space for the video editing use case while offering read and write speeds of around 500MB/s. The benefit of using an older MacBook in this use case is that the parts are readily replaceable and therefore upgradeable. In the age of flash storage and the immediacy of tablets such as the iPad there is a greater need for faster and therefore frustration free computing.

Apple has released a majorly redesigned MacBook Pro, and we put it through in-depth testing to see how it holds up for filmmaker needs.
