Apple Macbook Pro 15 2018 Laptop Video Editing

I bought two of these to use with my MacBook Pro M1 Max as a video editing workstation. ***Note that the only way I was able to display 4K at 60 hertz on both monitors simultaneously was to plug BOTH monitors directly to the MacBook via USB-C to DisplayPort cables. Once I did that and stopped trying to get them to work through the Thunderbolt 4 Dock I have, everything looks excellent.*** The resolution is great, as I can have Premiere Pro open on both monitors with one of the two showing the footage in the program window at close to actual size, which helps to see all the detail of the 4K image while editing. Colors look really good, and while this isn't a reference monitor designed for color grading Hollywood movies, it's plenty accurate for my videography work. Aside from video editing, text is super sharp and crisp, and photos and websites look excellent. Since it's an LCD, black levels are never going to look as inky black as they do on an OLED display, but that's to be expected. You can always get a small OLED TV to use as a makeshift client reference monitor. I originally wanted the Apple Studio Display, but at $1600 for one monitor, it was way too expensive for me. On Black Friday, I was able to snag TWO of these Asus ProArt 27 displays for under $800. That's less than half of ONE Apple display! Sure, it's not made of shiny aluminum, but who cares? Image quality is all I need, and this delivers in spades. Plus, they come with VESA mounting holes in the back as standard, so I was able to place them on a two-monitor VESA mounting arm and free up a bunch of space on my desk. I know the Apple display is 5K and this one is 4K, but two 4K monitors side by side get me way more resolution and work space than one 5K monitor. All in all, I heartily recommend this Asus ProArt 4K monitor to anyone looking for a high-res 27 LCD for content creation and general computing on a Mac (as long as you plug it in directly and not through a docking station).

I use all the connections with my Apple MACbook Pro. I do a lot of video and audio editing and use external SSDs, speed works well in edits as if the files were native to the internal drive.

Great upgrade from my 2018 Model MacBook Pro. I do a lot of editing on the go with my photography so the iPad comes in handy.

This dock is small but mighty. Works great with my 2018 macbook pro 15. I run two external monitors, usb camera, and usb c powered ring lights for Zoom meetings. Absolutely perfect!

I use it for my Apple MacBook Pro laptop. The laptop fits well. Durable product.

- i use it for a macbook pro 15 2012 model - it was easy to register it on apple's website

This stands works wonders for my 15 macbook Pro and my Monitor while editing. Keeps my macbook cool as well as eye level to keep away strain.

I upgraded from a 2019 Intel 15 inch MacBook Pro, to this M2 15 Inch MacBook Air and I love it! This Mac doesn't need fans at all, and it is faster than my previous 2019 MBP! These M series chips are great, and well worth the money! I have done some video editing using Final Cut Pro and photo editing using Photoshop, and this M2 MBA handles it like a champ! I got this specific model, and absolutely no regrets!

The Apple 13.6 MacBook Air laptop absolutely nails everything work. From menial daily routines to demanding tasks like Adobe software, DAW [like Logic Pro], and video editing. Apple Macs, including this one, don't perform well in gaming. M2 sometimes overheats, especially if the game is particularly demanding or not optimized for running on arm chips [M1, M2]. Best money/performance value if you're looking for a typing, surfing, or light editing solution.

This is a great Laptop Sleeve. Fits really great on a MacBook Pro 2014 15
