A:Answer This product will absolutely handle what you are asking. I wouldn't buy it if that was the MAIN thing I was going to use if for, as it gets hot when performing intense tasks. If you're going to be editing video every day, I would move to the MacBook Pro. For the occasional family movie, the MacBook Air will be just fine. I bought this as a second/travel laptop a few weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier with it. MacOS is amazing, the system is very fast, and the new keyboard is an absolute dream to type on. Nothing else I've tried even comes close.
