i have been making youtube video's for a while but i noticed that editing is hard because i can't always use my desktop pc, so i want something for when i am on the move.

i do not own a laptop but now i'm thinking to buy a macbook for editing and basic browsing, but i have never owned one.

now to the question, what macbook will be able to render 1080p 30 / 60 fps footage and how fast.

If your going to get a MacBook, get one with at least 12 gb of ram and an I7 processor, but I recommend getting a pc because it is less expensive and you can get a dedicated gpu, which will cut your rendering time A LOT.

do you have any idea what time it takes for a high end MacBook to render 720p / 1080p 30 to 60 fps video??

Sorry, I don't know how long it takes to render. I don't have a MacBook.
