Hi
I bought my son a Macbook pro 13" with 4 MB ram and an i5 processor so he can use it while he is in school doing film editing. Unfortunately, now it has come time to get the student version of Media Composer, it seems he needs more RAM (which I expected - no big deal) but apparently in needs an i7 processor. Quad core no less.
What would happen if he tries to run MC with an i5 please? He is only at the beginner level, and I could understand the pro's needing maximum horsepower, but I can't believe someone doing something as basic as Film Editing 2 would need the same horsepower. What would happen if he tries to run it on an i5 please?
I can't afford to toss a 1400 dollar mnachine out and spend 2 grand on yet another machine. It seems only the 15" supports i7 Quad core.
Somebody bail me out please?
Thanks
Phil
