you kinds not welcome here

macbook pro now or wait for new imac any other answer is invalid. (all the other options have dated hardware)

How much are you looking to spend? 2k? 3k?

The current macbook pro is seriously outdated. It's from 2013

Now imagine with this gen cpu and gpu. Either a r7 1800X or 6900k plus 1080ti and it will still be cheaper than the mac pro.

You would have to get the 27" imac with i7, 32gb ram which is 3399$
That will be an 4core/8threads cpu, some slow ddr3 ram with an really power hungry mobile gpu.

Or

For 2350$ (amazing 4k display included)
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4xBMKZ
8core/16threads, fast ddr4 ram and an almost incompareable gpu. Added 1.35tb for ssd. But feel free to add a few TB of additional storage.

And iMovie seriously lacks a lot. There is some way better editing software out there.

E/ post before was a mistake thought he was refering to the mac pro as mentioned earlier.

Do you have any guess of when the new iMac will be out? I haven't been following that...

Only rumors so far. A few months, don't hold ya breath

Rendering video in 4k and playing video games in 4k are different. He doesn't need a 1080Ti. A Hero 5 video shot in 4k still has a low bitrate since it's a compressed file. Now if he was shooting 4k with a camera that used a RAW format, he would need something beefy. As it is, 4k on a hero 5 isn't very demanding. OP wants a Mac so offer a Mac or not at all.

Thank you



Which currency? I'm swedish but in US dollars I don't want to spend more than about 2k. The cheaper the better, just want something that is "good enough" for my purpose. Maybe a Mac mini?
