Do I go for it or is that money better off going toward a PC? I want something durable that runs smoothly, and that is what I typically hear about macs, but if I am wrong please let me know.
video editing might be a pain in the butt considering it comes with intel graphics, I would personally go the pc route and find a refurbished hp envy or gaming laptop. The mbp is not a bad machine at all and would handle daw (as long as you don't go overboard with alot of tracks) and photo editing all day long, I just don't know if I would rely on integrated graphics for video intensive programs.
