What Macbook Should I Get?

Hi, so I'm a journalism major and I'm looking to get a new macbook and I just want some advice on which would be the best for me. Some info:

I need to be able to edit videos on Premier Pro Abode etc (my main concern)

other than that I don't have any specifics, I'm interested in also playing some games like Sims or Roblox so I just want something that's good enough to be able to run these things without damaging my laptop.

I don't have a budget or anything so any advice would be appreciated!

What is your budget would be my first question.


  • 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display²
  • Nano-texture display
  • Apple M4 Max chip with 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine
  • 128GB unified memory
  • 4TB SSD storage
  • 140W USB-C Power Adapter
  • Three Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI port, SDXC card slot, headphone jack, MagSafe 3 port
  • Backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID - US English
  • Final Cut Pro

In Canada that would cost you $6,448.99

As a student you should ask your school of journalism what computer they recommend for your course of study. You need to be 100% compatible with the computing requirements of your your course of study, other students, and your professors. If we recommend a specific Mac and it will not run a course-required app you will not be happy.
