The 16GB max ram still seems a head scratcher. Not what would suppose I want for video editing.

I've got 16GB in my 2015 MBP and editing 1080p in FCPX it never slows down at all.

I currently have the same MacBook but everything seems to be breaking (keyboard, battery, screen, major OS upgrades fail, etc) and it needs to be replaced. But 16gigs seems not very future proof. I’m already having issues with some video codecs I can’t work with, example .360 GoPro files. (I bought an iPhone SE to handle that!)
