Hi, I'm not very knowledgeable about macs but I've been looking in to them recently because I've heard they are best for what I want. I'm a YouTuber (only in a small way at the moment, but I want to increase my uploads) I'll be uploading and editing perhaps 2 or 3 videos a week, and other than that the computer will just be used for social media and quite a lot of video streaming. I can afford the basic models (around £1000) is it worth me saving more money and getting a different model? I was looking at the MBPs but would the MPA be better for me? It won't be travelling many places with me, but I'd like it to look stylish. I'm still at school by the way, but it won't be used for school work, I'll do that on my current laptop. What would you suggest?

The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

No need for anything other than even a base model 11" Air if that size is okay with you. It's plenty powerful for such a menial task. It can handle video editing of that magnitude without effort. I'm sure it would even handle Final Cut Pro without too much trouble. They come standard with 4 gigs of RAM, which is more than enough to handle a project in FCP X if you aren't running much else in the background.
