They demo'd multiple live 4k streams being edited with AI backed filters being put on....with the 2 year old ipad pro chip that went out in the demo mac mini's last June.
These are their low end Macs. Mac Airs were never the "go to laptop" for video editing. I'm not expecting these Macs to take the place of a $60k fully loaded Mac Pro

I disagree on many levels. For one thing, a MacBook Pro is NOT a low end computer. Second, applying preset filters to video or selfies is child's play. The true need for power comes when a real professional digs deep into very large RAW files and sets of RAW files to do their own editing, not just mamby-pamby hold your hand filter application that most people would do. You do not need a Mac Pro for that, unless perhaps you are working on a Hollywood level production. Even people like me who photograph the night sky (astrophotography) need to sometimes use 100+ RAW images to align them, stack them, and pull out the most detail with the least amount of noise. That process requires a lot of processing power and a lot of memory and memory management. My old 2014 MacBook Pro with i7 and 16GB RAM can do that, although not with great speed. An iPad Pro? No bleeping way. Not even close. Until I see actual users pushing the new M1 Macs to the limit to see if they can handle this kind of power/memory hungry computing, I will remain skeptical.
