Thank you, Phil. The only reason why an Apple comes into play is because of the Codex cards and the reader works with Apple, unless there is, unknown for my humble person, a way for a PC data transfer.

Thank you, Brain. I played around with Premiere and Resolve and the latter is waaaay more stable than Premiere. That iMac should be fine for 2K the retailer noted.

Greeting everyone. I wonder if you guys can help me for getting the right iMac for editing Arri footage. I own an Arri Alexa XT and a Codex's reader with USB cable. There are some stores with used iMac's with very decent price tags and maybe you can tell me what specifications I should look for speedy editing. I am aware of the USB port which comes with the new iMac's with Retina display, but thanks to an adapter I can use an older model to do the job. I was thinking of an iMac 21.5" Core i5 2.7GHz, 1 TB HDD, 8 GB RAM. Is that a prudent choice? Thank you. Best, Chris
