Fwiw, on my m3 + max ram, I also was recording 1080p 30-ish minute obs videos for a while running large Ableton Live project playback + a facecam, and (while I don’t remember specs specifics) I didn’t find it to be unstable. I don’t do heavy video editing, so I’m not sure about the requirements, but for obs in 1080, it felt fine for me. I think I also exported some edited 4k footage at one point though, and I seem to remember rendering that one took a solid amount of time, so if you think you might move to 4k, pro might be more appropriate.

But I remember having specs reservations when getting my air, and I have not regretted it at all. Especially when I see my friends lug around their monster of a laptop. Those pro machines are thicc

I thought for sure they’d say that it’s time to retire

Oshit TIL I only spent money on my album because I’m a dumbass. If I were smart and produced it for free, I could have a whole $10 of net Spotify revenue.

Fwiw, this was also on HN yesterday. Never tried it myself, though:
