Hi guys,

I've been doing some video editing and looking to get into it a lot more. I've had a play with premiere pro and really like it. Problem is my PC is about 5 yrs old and too slow to handle anything above 1080p.

Now I'm going to be shooting in 4k (Panasonic lx100) and wanted to build a system which was powerful enough to handle the files.

For now, I will probably export the files as 1080p, but may export some as 4k files too.

a few questions...

1) will something like a dell xps 15 be up to the task of handling the 4k files in premiere pro??

2) if not, and I'm looking at a desktop machine, what spec would you recommend.

appreciate any advice.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I'm thinking maybe something like the xps 15 spec with proxy files might be the way forward for me
