Am getting ready to install Premiere Pro for the first time and wondered if anyone might have any insight into which hardware route I should take.
OPTION 1
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i
58 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris 1536 MB
24" external display
OPTION II
iMac (24-inch, early 2008)
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
Obviously, the MacBook Pro is a faster performer. However, it's also my daily computer that has a bunch of other stuff on it and that I travel around with.
The iMac would be a dedicated to editing, would allow me to work on my laptop parallel, and wouldn't threaten any of my other files/programs. That said, it's a really old model w/o retina that just barely meets the OS requirements for PP.
Thoughts?
