Re: video editing

I'd buy a desktop with a good video card and a good separate monitor, not an all-in-one.

Editing

You can do editing on just about any machine.

Unless you have a lot of patience I don't think either of those machines will fit.

I'll agree with Kees shop around for a desktop and a nice monitor.

At least you will have an upgrade path if things are not as speedy as you want.

With an AIO your kind of limited.

I agree with the above.

Almost any machine can edit video, even a chromebook. That would be painful and limiting but yes, there is a way.

My preferred setup is a desktop, good video card that the video editor leverages and as much CPU muscle and SSD I can afford.
