In this video I'll be taking you along as I edit two complete projects in DaVinci Resolve on the base model 2020 M1 Mac Mini. We'll discover the systems strengths and weaknesses. I'll also compare the editing performance of the $700 Mac to the editing performance of a $700 PC. Which one will come out on top?
