1. It is for me I didn't know you were looking for freeware. My boss uses Wondershare Filmora although I think it has some kind of license as well, but I think it's fully functional with the free trial (not sure). Otherwise just try Lightworks, not as intuitive but powerful enough for your task.
  2. Windows is a pain. Trying to give the girlfriends windows 7 laptop a spring clean. Restored to factory and I have installed only Chrome. At idle, from boot is it using 4.35gb of RAM (75%). Crazy. CPU spikes all over the place. Nothing obviously out of place in processes.

    Maybe I'll buy her a Chromebook.
  3. Bought a MacBook Pro last week, pretty happy with it. Decided to go with the last generation one, instead of having a machine with no USB slots and having to buy a peripheral to fully utilise it...

    The only thing I have against it is that it seems as if it's a bit expensive for what it is, forked out quite a bit of money for it.

    Bling bling.

    Though I would sell a kidney for a Chromebook Pixel which is even more ridiculously priced for what it is.

    Yeah, thank the student loans... Even then, a Pixel is probably more worth it because in the end you're more financially stable.

    I might pull the plug one day but there are many more things ahead of it and this little Chromebook Flip is absolutely bossing it for £199. Especially now that it runs Android apps

    There's something obviously wrong there. Fresh formatted computers are supposed to be fast and clean. Right, then they get crummed fairly easily and quickly but the first days after the format are always pleasant.
  9. Bought the Google Pixel XL a couple of days ago and I'm loving it!! Never seen anything this smooth!

    More digging required. It should not be using so much RAM at idle.
  11. It sure shouldn't. Did the factory reset delete all her files or just the software while keeping the files? I'm pretty sure there must be a worm/trojan/whatever somewhere. A full format (not pre-installed factory resets) would def. fix it imo
