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

The question is which professional software for video editing is available for this new platform? Probably not much at the moment. So these machines will be perfect for those who do their work with browser, email and not much more.

I'm using Tableau Desktop in my daily work and until it is available on this new platform - these Macs are not an option for me even if they are 10x more performant. I guess there are a lot of professionals that are constrained in a similar manner. So we will see if M1 is adopted in such scenarios at all.

Final Cut Pro is one of the options for the new Macbook, on the item's page.
