[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1718737, member: 131855"] Exactly which iMac is this? I was using a 2008 MacBook Pro with similar specs and moved over to a 3.3 GHz iMac 2015 iMac. The speed difference was very noticeable. Here's how I described it during a previous Mac-Forums Sunday Chat Both the iMac and MacBook Pro have 8 GB of ram. The 2008 MacBook Pro has a Core2Duo processor. My 2016 iMac has a 3.3 GHz i5. Now, a video conversion is not exactly the same as photo work but the processing difference is noticeable. Either iMac will be significantly faster than what you're currently using. If you can swing the extra $300.00 go for it. [/QUOTE]
