Macbook Pro

Need a new laptop, something with a bit of power for large video (work related ) editing, photograph editing ( also work, but some personal editing as well) , good audio capabilities as well for the above mentioned videos. Surfing the web, some basic coding and AI to be integrated into my day-to-day
Is the MacbookPro good enough for all that? I was thinking about the M5 and the reviews on Youtube have been very helpful, but you never know with those people, 90% of them are paid advertisement preteding to be true reviews.
TIA and here is Jennifer Love Hugetits, for your troubles:

Spend it if you got it. Still limited by laptop form factor, but you can’t do better.

Yes. Up to you which chip you get but it's a damn good laptop.

Historically, photo/video people overwhelmingly lean Mac. Whenever you’re in any media workroom, it’s Apple logos as far as the eye can see.
I can’t really speak to the video side. But, on the photo side the hardware has been rock solid for the last 20 years. Battery health and legacy software limitations has always determined when I have to upgrade. (The one anomaly was the trashcan pro, and that was a really expensive mistake.)
To date I’ve relied on a 2007 pro, 2012 air, and a 2020 pro. I just ordered the new m5 pro and the sticker shock was jolting even for an Apple product…although I’m pretty sure I paid at least $1500 more for the trashcan 15 years ago.
As long as it it works as advertised for the next 5-7 years, it will pay for itself.

Every videographer and photographer I know uses Macs.
