[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1337018, member: 110816"] I upgraded my iMac from Snow Leopard to Lion and that went very smoothly. For what you are doing, you might find the i5 to be a better fit due to the extra processing power (especially for the video editing/processing). You can always upgrade the memory yourself to the 16GB maximum if need be. The one thing you will be stuck with is the HDD size, so you might have to explore external storage if you want more than 500GB. It is possible to upgrade the internal HDD on the iMac, but it isn't for the faint of heart.. [/QUOTE]
