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.

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

It is interesting to consider the question as to whether refurbished Macs are a niche market. A niche is defined as “a specialized segment of the market for a particular kind of product or service.” There are certainly different ways to look at this. At CheshireMacs, we provide the highest-quality service. When it comes to quality of repair and our dedication to customer service, we are proud to say that our reputation for excellence precedes us.

However, to make the assumption that customers looking for refurbished Macs are a niche market underestimates the intelligence and growth prospects of this particular market. Why is this? Clients that use our services are not just looking for a cheaper alternative. There are a range of reasons why they feel a refurbished iMac or MacBook is what they are looking for. Furthermore, our clients are likely to have invested time into finding both the correct product for their needs as well as the right Company.

The trick to expanding this market, which may have at one time been considered niche, is education. Providing our existing and potential future clients with information allows them to make informed decisions.

Refurbished Macs – Education is key

It is really important that our clients know that our refurbished Apple Mac computers go through a rigorous process from start to finish. This ensures that every refurbished product will perform just as buying from new. Saving you money as well as giving you peace of mind.

Furthermore, all of our refurbished Mac computers come with a 12-month hardware warranty. Nothing leaves our store until it has been checked, checked and checked again. This means that when you buy your refurbished Apple Mac from us, you can do so with 100% confidence.

We are extremely proud to see the huge growth of this market. With over 20 years’ experience we have worked hard to provide valuable information about our products while offering a friendly and professional service. Have you got questions about buying a refurbished Mac? Please get in touch today.
