In advance: I'm very inexperienced in computer technology in general and have little idea of any laptop / PC configurations.
I intend to buy an Apple Macbook. It should be suitable for cutting / rendering videos, editing pictures and possibly playing games (of course, no high-end processor-heavy ones).
My question: is this Macbook suitable? → https://www.amazon.de/...07V49TZQT/
If not, why not? And what would be a better recommendation?
I want to spend a maximum of 1,300 euro for it.
Does it necessarily have to be a Macbook?
You only get one CPU with 2 in this price range! Cores.
That will not be much.
The best possible would still be here:

The cost but also 1299 euro, but has also 4 cores.
If it does not have to be Apple, you could of course recommend much more powerful products.
I was recommended a Macbook because I had only problems with Windows so far. Is there something comparable that can last for several years and remains consistently powerful?
Thank you for your prompt reply. It does not necessarily have to be the latest model. Are there any older Macbooks, the vlt are even more powerful for the price? If not, what would be a good non-Apple alternative?
A MacBook is always a good choice, but definitely not the MacBook Air, because the MacBook Pro for just 250 euro more, equal in a different league plays and is much better.
The MacBook Pro 13 "in the basic configuration should be sufficient for most of the users, but whether this is sufficient for your project, depends on how complex you want to edit your pictures and how complex your video editing is.
It is not suitable for gambling because it has no decentered graphics and is only available in the 15 "or 16" models.
No, there's nothing comparable to a MacBook. That also has its own operating system.
This Asus ZenBook for example

Significantly stronger CPU, more memory, half the price
Or if you want to play a few graphics-intensive games, this ROG Zephyrus
I think that's pretty good here:

6 kerners. GTX1660Ti with 6GB, 16GB 2666 RAM, enough memory and just on offer. Over 200 euro cheaper than the normal price. I would recommend that anyway. Since you can already work well with and from time to play a round.
It's just a 4 coreer. A little bit mean by now.
Significantly worse display, slower SSD and someone to recommend Linux, which has problems with Windows and video editing, is also courageous.
Yes, the display is not as high resolution as that of the Macbook, but it is not bad. The faster SSD you will not notice in everyday life that it has only 128GB, however
That the part comes without Windows I have not seen. But it does not matter, just get a NEN key for tens, the Media Creation Tool on NEN USB stick and Windows on it gossip
Anyone who has worked on a retina display, feels all other displays as significantly worse. That's really a big difference.
The faster SSD falls in video editing quite significant, but 128 GB are of course too small for it.
And with a key for Windows, it is not necessarily done, if there are still drivers missing or maybe it does not exist for this notebook. As I read that, the questioner wanted to work around exactly these problems.
The faster SSD is certainly important in video editing
I've just looked again, the SSD in the Macbook Air 2019 is a bit slower than the Zenbook (1400 / 950MB / s vs 1650 / 880MB / s read / write)
And with a key for Windows, it is not necessarily done, if there are still drivers missing or maybe it does not exist for this notebook. As I read that, the questioner wanted to work around exactly these problems.
That's no problem, they should all be there. And if not, there's everything for download
I'm talking about the MacBook Pro 13 and the SSD in it is faster.
Drivers under Windows are always a problem. But no matter, the questioner can look at your proposal yes and priced, it is of course much cheaper than a MacBook Pro.
However, even with a poorer display (for me a very important point) and no macOS (for me even more important).
