I will be selling my 2011 iMac to help pay for the new one so I can't keep this one. I happily own a Galaxy S3 by choice) I was excited to get the newest iMac released just a couple weeks ago but then tonight I saw this site ( ) and started thinking about my options. I've been a loyal mac user for years but I'm no fan boy (eg. I love Mac but I'm just wanting to get the best machine for Premiere for my budget.

ADOBE CC MAC VS PC PC
I truly have been out of the PC world sooo long and I know that each "side" has their advantages. The iMac I was intending to get as soon as next week was:ģ.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel i7 ("Turboboost" up to 3.9 GHz)ġTB "Fusion" Drive (Apple's 120 SSD + 1TB HDD mix)Ī PC of some sort that's upgradable going forward and optimized for what I use it for primarily (see underlined and bold above).
ADOBE CC MAC VS PC PLUS
Plus it doesn't come out for a couple months and honestly I have a great offer in right now on my iMac that I'm about to sell.
ADOBE CC MAC VS PC UPGRADE
The upcoming 2013 Mac Pro looks nice and I love the idea of being able to upgrade as I go, but it doesn't come with a screen and I can't necessarily afford it when you add that in. I was just about to purchase the newest iMac with most of the upgrades for what would be $3300. It has 3.4 GHz i7, 16GB 1333 RAM, AMD 6970M 1GB VRAM GPU, 120GB SSD (OWC 6G) running the OS and apps, and I also have a Elite Pro Dual eSata HDD + Thunderbolt adapter (RAID 0) from that I currently use as my scratch drive. Who knows?! Bottom line: I use Premiere, Audition, Encore and Photoshop with 90% of it on Premiere (using basic cuts, cross dissolves, extensive use of Warp Stabilizer, and the occasional gaussian blur). I used to be a FCP user so Macs made sense but now I'm all in on Premiere Pro CC so maybe a PC would be best.or maybe I should just stay with Mac. But my editing is what I do 6 days a week on this computer for work. I have bad memories from having to renew/pay for that every year and it slowing things down and ultimately my last PC was infected and crashed. As crazy/stupid as it sounds.my fear of returning to the PC world is mostly because of my memory of the years of having to deal with the need for Virus Protection on a PC. I'm a current Mac user not wanting really to go back to PC but I'm about to make a purchase so I wanna be open to the idea if it's gonna make life better for me while editing. PC can spark a lively debate and I sense much of this forum's base are PC users but hopefully I'll get some honest and sound advice/purchase options.
