Fcp on macbboks
Posted by Julia Es on June 21, 2012 at 7:24 pmHave an older MacBook pro – workhorse but heavy. Anyone have reviews of working on newer MacBook pro, MacBook air?

June 21, 2012 at 10:26 pmThanks for replying – the newer models are so much lighter to haul around – looks like I’ll be investing soon!

June 23, 2012 at 5:43 amWith the Pros you can upgrade to 16GB of RAM if you purchase it 3rd party – and for a rather reasonable rate. This is assuming you don’t get the new high-res version that has the RAM soldered onto the logic board. Look into “16gb Macbook Pro” on Google if interested.
