One question that we are asked daily is which Mac's can run Final Cut Pro?

Because Final Cut Pro is Apple software the good news is the vast majority of Mac's can run it.

What is Final Cut Pro? This is Apple’s professional-level video editing software. It is an incredibly popular software for both professionals and also consumers looking for more power for their video editing projects. It does a really great job of providing a solution for both groups. There are well-publicised pros and cons for both groups. However, it has received great press once users get used to different elements of the software.

Did you know?

Final Cut Pro works exclusively on Mac computers (as it was made by Apple). It is possible that this will change in the future, but right now there are no versions available for Windows or other operating systems.

The minimum system requirements are 4GB of RAM, 1GB of VRAM, 4.5GB of available disk space and macOS 11.5.1 (Big Sur) or later.

We would recommend going for 8GB of RAM minimum and the biggest screen you can accommodate for easier editing purposes but this isn't essential.

Regarding the OS this means any MacBook Air, MacBook Pro or iMac from 2014 onwards will be compatible.

Here are some recommendations from us - https://cheshiremacs.com/collections/final-cut-pro

If you are looking at buying a refurbished Mac, it is great advice to do a little homework. There are key points that you should educate yourself about in terms of the process. Making an informed decision will never be a bad thing. In fact, it will leave you feeling excited and confident that you have made the right choice for your needs.

Buying a Refurbished Mac is Cheaper

As many are, if you are looking to save money, a refurbished option is the best way to go. There are determining factors such as age of the device and condition. A newer model will likely have a lesser saving. Whereas older models can be vastly reduced. These details show evidence of how there will always be decisions to be made and a balance to find between what you are looking for and how much you want to spend.

Refurbished Macs are Not Perfect

It would be naïve to believe that a refurbished Mac will be in perfect condition. It is important to remember that a refurbished device has been used. It is therefore unreasonable to assume that a refurbished model will be the same as a new device. This is why we have devised a grading system to offer an open and upfront sales process.

Shorter Warranties are More Likely

Buying a refurbished Mac from a reputable company means that you will receive a warranty period. It is reasonable to assume that these warranties are likely to be shorter than that of a brand-new machine. Some credit card companies automatically offer additional warranty periods. It is therefore a good idea to look into this, should this be something you are wishing to achieve.

A client commented:

“Just received my 27" imac. Wow its like a brand new machine. Thank you Dave for all your help on purchasing it. I would highly recommend CheshireMacs. They were so helpful on the phone and on email, nothing was to much trouble. As other people have said why pay high prices when you can get an almost new machine from them.” – Pete Skinner

If your child is starting high school or university this month then it is not too late to set them up with a MacBook from us. The following information will work towards showing how a MacBook can be considered a really good investment.

Buying a Mac for a Student – will it last?

With the above warranty and confidence, the worry of purchasing a refurbished Mac is completely eliminated. You can be rest-assured that it will see them right through their studies and beyond. Children are so used to Apple devices through personal use and use in school, that they are already very familiar with their set-up.

We sell refurbished Macs which perform like new but are much easier on the bank balance. Please note we also accept Klarna which allows you to purchase and spread the cost over 3 months. We really have thought of everything.

Our stock is always updated on our website but if you have a question or a specific product, please do get in touch by calling 01625 415088.

Things To Consider:

Screen size and portability: Apple has two laptop lines including the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. These are available in different screen sizes and weights (newer models do weigh less than older ones). If this is a big consideration for you then it is important to get the model right.

Processor speed and RAM: it is really sound advice to purchase the best processor speed and RAM your budget will allow. A bigger processor will be better for those considering using their MacBook for creative work or larger programmes.

Don’t forget that you can use external storage options. This isn’t for everyone so may not work for you but is worth considering when you are looking at storage.

And lastly, don’t forget to buy a case and screen protector. While a MacBook is beautiful, it can also be fragile. A case and screen protector can work to offer great protection while carrying your MacBook around.
