We have a 4k camera but still working on i5 and unable to edit the 4k. We're in the same position as you, looking at either high quality laptops of about £1000 plus or a pc of about similar.

Hence knowing about the ssd and the normal harddrive.

Obviously if you have lots of money, you could go for a piece of art, something like >

TypeXD's Completed Build - Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB (2-Way SLI) - PCPartPicker

5k later, it will still only do the same job as something of 2k, maybe just a bit quicker or sometimes quieter.

What MaDalton has looks like a perfect set up and should last for a few years too
It's no wonder people don't take you seriously. Here, let me help you out:



I have a top of the line MacBook Pro from late 2015. It's an outdated machine but it runs Final Cut Pro, which I use from time to time. It edits 6K RED footage doing this.
