Hi

I need to buy a new MacBookPro for editing on the go (have a lovely iMac as main edit system).

While I edit with 4k, the footage is from a GH5 and is 100mbps or less

I have a tight budget (post Christmas!!) so can't get the 'obvious' MBP I need. I'm looking at a refurbished Mac. Wanting to spend around £2k. So would the below work:

Originally released July 2018

MacBook Pro 2.6GHz 6-core Intel Core i7

Touch Bar with integrated Touch ID sensor

15.4-inch

16GB of 2400MHz DDR4 onboard memory

512GB SSD 1

Radeon Pro Graphics 560X

I know it's not the best, but I've a decent iMac indoors etc, this is just for out and about, 2nd computer when needed etc. I'd edit off internal SSD or USB/TB drive if needed...

Thank you in advance...

Thank you! Wasn't sure if the memory was enough

Ah, ok. I thought you were talking about the machine as a whole. 16GB is a lot of RAM and should be plenty for the kind of video editing you're doing.
