I can FCPX on a MacBook Air?

Hello

In fact, not me, but a friend.

An artist friend needs a computer for the usual things but I would also like to make small films as she wishes. She doesn't have much money, so, in research on Mac products, which is a stretch but perhaps at hand is the MacBook Air and its

  • Processor clocked at 1.6 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
  • Turbo Boost up to 2.7 GHz
  • Intel HD 6000 graphics card
  • 8 GB memory
  • 128 GB of storage based on PCIe flash

It is $999.

I wonder if it is sufficient to use FCPX on without unpleasant delays?

What do you say?

I imagine that it is provided with iMovie and do not be surprised if that would be enough for his application too but always like to take the money and see what are the possibilities of max.

I suspect that your friend will be able to do a really nice job on the MBA with iMovie. (Indeed, most of us could and offers a huge bang for the buck.) If she wants to expand his creative power, and decided to spring for FCP X, it will be fine if she's sick and retains its media on an external drive.

Good luck.

  • Can I reset my MacBook Air and restore the backup I made before to reduce others' storage space?

    Hello

    so I have the 126 GB MacBook Air. My problem is that the other takes 87 GB!

    So can I reset my laptop and restore the backup later like you do with iPhones to reduce the "other"?

    I guess this could work, but I'm afraid something away...

    I hope that there is someone who can help me!

    Thank you!

    There is nothing necessarily wrong with 'other' as long it's documents, etc. that you need.

    Make a backup and a restore just grow what you have now. I would not recommend it.

    If you don't think the number is correct you can reindex to see if that changes it: Spotlight: how to re - index folders or volumes - Apple Support

    I just got this computer barely a month, I purchased from best buy and this by clicking. He came to dislike. I don't know what to try, it's not an apple store where I live. What should I do? It still does for some time after I turned it off. How can I solve this problem? It's a 13 in early 2015. I took great care with her, I had a macbook in high school and I remember having heard such a noise on a few of them as well. I am a collage student and need my computer for class almost every day.

    Greetings faiffles,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I understand that you hear clicking from your MacBook Air and you don't have an Apple Store nearby. In this case, I would advice contacting Apple Support, so we can learn more about this situation.

    The MagSafe power adapter is bitensión, so it is safe to use with 110V or 220V.  You can buy the World Travel Kit that has additional sheets to replace the current on the power adapter.

  • AirDrop only works one way between iMac and MacBook Air

    Hello

    Surely I can't be the only one with this problem. I searched online help and followed all of the suggestions, but nothing works. I can AirDrop OF my MacBook Air (OS X Yosemite, mi 2013 construction) to the iMac (OS X El Capitan, end 2013) almost 100% of the time, but NOT vice versa. The iMac won't discover the MB Air. I even tried "find an old MAc" - no go. Drop settings are as well 'discovered by everybody' and the privacy settings firewall does not block incoming signals.

    I am filling beef BOF Eli Capitan was last updated. My MacBook Air has been sitting all night by train to restart after downloading the update. White screen and black progress bar - apple logo stops after 70% and accidents. Back at 50% and crashes again at 70%.
