Now, we know you don't have to have a laptop computer with you every time you go on set for every video shoot. That being said, no one has ever been super inconvenienced by someone bringing a laptop along just in case they need to download some files, review some footage, or have a back up for storage, or whatever.
So, for our "Deals of the Week" this week we're going to look at three Apple MacBooks which make use of the now outdated M3 chip and are actually on sale. And then you can decide if you want to bring one on set with you or not—it's totally up to you.
