iMac or Mac Pro?

[dile]

Hi! I would like to buy a new computer for video editing. In your opinion is better iMac or Mac Pro?

Mac Pro, it is much faster and can be more of an editing beast. Whereas iMacs are meant to be workstation computers.

Betty or Veronica? Ginger or Mary Anne?

 

Alex is correct–the Mac Pro is a great editor. But it's also very high-end–expect to pay about $10K to get it completely set up.

 

I use a 27" iMac for my editing work, with 16GB RAM and 2GB on the video card. It works quite nicely, and I've got about $2,500 tied up in it.

 

So it comes down to the same old sond-and-dance: How much money ya got?
