Wife wants a comp mainly for making videos and lag proof while surfing the net etc. she really isn’t a gamer but this computer would need to be able to hold a lot of pictures/videos and also be capable of editing videos.

Do not need a mouse keyboard etc.

Sounds like a Macbook would do her justice, but you never listed:
Budget, timeline, etc. Like moderator above posted link.

Would a macbook work?
Budget: 1300 or more if its worth it
More specific use (what games, what programs): Editing videos / storing large amounts of pictures/videos
Planned time until purchase: When i find something good we arent savy with comps
Do you need an Operating System?: IDK?
Do you have any specific preferred components?: Not really just want no lag and smooth editing
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: nah
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: stock?
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: No
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 37218 TN

editing videos would be fine for macbook, storage would be the issue
are you wanting a laptop or are you wanting an actual desktop? here's a desktop that would do editing/browsing etc and LIGHT gaming. this has NO wifi or bluetooth.

for OS -> example windows 10, windows 11. For non tech savvy it's easiest to just buy a windows 10 USB from any retailer.

this is not a prebuilt. if you want a prebuilt id maybe consider looking for a used PC on your local market. if you want something that would prob like 8 years doing what shes doing you can look up the "starforge horizon II" other than those guys i dont really recommend prebuilts, especially for her needs it's very overkill. for her needs in the market range price for prebuilts they're just absolute scams across the board so i have a hard time :p
