Hi Rob, I'm on a late 2012, 27" 3.4 quad i7, 32Gb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB, using Premiere Pro CS6.0.5. Very satisfying!

Re: anyone using an imac to edit premiere pro?

I'm also using a similar iMac to edit MXF and AVCHD multicam on CC (current version). No complaints, other than it appears I've had maybe 25% more crashes on Mac than on Windows than on Mac (I've edited quite a bit on both in the last year.) I do not blame the Mac OS for this, as much as I don't have crashes on any of my other apps. So it seems to be unique to Pr. I was not having this level of crashes on Windows 7 with the same version of CC. If you are working on a Mac and don't need the power of the new Mac Pro, I'd feel very comfortable recommending it.

Re: anyone using an imac to edit premiere pro?

I don't edit in Premiere particularly much on my iMac but further to what Al says, whenever I have Photoshop or Premiere open while working in FCP7, I experience a LOT of strange behaviour requiring restarts that I personally attribute to Adobe memory management. In 12+ years of having Adobe and Apple products coexist on Macs, I've always believed that there is a memory leak with certain Adobe products on MacOS. I can run for days with a ton of applications open behind FCP with no issue but open up Photoshop or Premiere (no, they aren't fighting for IO resources...) and I get a couple of hours.

I'm on a 27" 2.7GHz i5 w. 4 GB (I really should have maxed out RAM) and it's getting close to retirement time for this workhorse.
