I've read owners of the new MacBook saying it's fine even for editing video. I edited video on an iMac with a 230ghz or something processor near 15 years a go and although the res was loads lower it still managed. I'm getting bored of tech people making out you need 2ghz plus and 16gb of ram to send an email.

Well, it'll just take a bit longer I guess. Who's actually got one in the real world yet though? People in the US? 4-6 weeks shipping from the Apple website, no Apple stores have stock yet. Journalists have had a chance to have a good play but not many other people.
To be honest I have no intention of using whatever laptop I buy for video editing, but I plan to use it a lot for the web, so if multiple tabs slow it down significantly that's not good. I'd like a play with one really to find out for myself...

Tim Bradshaw at the FT (who I rate, and he's a nice chap to boot) says that it struggles to run a number of browser tabs on top of Yosemite:
"...the MacBook struggles with too many browser tabs, let alone video editing. It is the only flaw in a near-perfect laptop."

He's the only person I've heard say this so far but I trust him so I wouldn't bother. I was between that and a Google Pixel 2, I'm going to get the Pixel 2 because it only has to run Chrome and it has an i5 as well as 8Gb of ram.
