YOur machine is up tu date but working the 'old' way is buying a big machineYou forget I'm always travelling and I have to upload mostly in the year from the hotel place where I stay and 90 % of the hotel today have restricted upload possibilities which makes my life difficult !!!
If the new MacBookPro is "old material", well I wonder what is new and at home I have not taken yet the latest Macpro yet because my "old" 12 heart 64 GB Ram from 2012 which has cost me 12 000 euros is still not a dead machine and works well ( I prefer spend 10 K today on pussies than computers ) !!!
because you need power just like before you had a machine for every cpu in cies.
tooday people get one screen,keyboard,mouse and that's it working on a virtual desktop.there is only one big server storing everything on the cloud.
today you have virtual computers where you store eveything and the power required
is suited to your need(scalable).
it is especially relevant for people travelling a lot.
what you need is a virtual computer where you store your apps like editing software and so on and cloud storing where your files are located.
then uploading is no longer an issue.as long as your internet connection is fine
you can access your virtual computer to edit your videos and then encoding,uploading is done in minutes between the encoding server and your web server.
you have some kind of solutions like runabove from OVH
they are french so you can call and tell your needs they will tell you what is suited
for you.
You can also use a solutions like logmein pro to access your webserver,computers
remotely from whereever you are.you just need an internet connection to access
them and work on them remotely.this solution today is very stable and used
in most cies when you need to travel both for security reasons and usability.
