Hey so I plan on getting my first Macbook Pro and pretty noobie when it comes to computers+specs. My main purpose from switching from WIndows to Mac is to edit 4k videos; I also use Lightroom to edit photos. I'm only a hobbyist, so I do not need the faster/most powerful model.
I have a few questions; my price range is a $<2000.00.
1) I've watched various reviews and seems like majority of reviewers believe that the newest 2016 15" Macbook Pro is overpriced and not worth it for what you're getting. Thus, I was considering maybe the 2016 13"+new monitor OR 2015 13"+new monitor OR 2015 15" Macbook pro. thoughts?
2) What specs would you all recommend for editting 4k videos (i5 vs i7? How many gHz & RAM?). Does the 2015 15" Mac Pro adequately edit+process vids smoothly (I'm assuming ALL the 2016 models 13" or 15" are capable of doing it)--again don't need top of the line specs.
3) So if the 2015 15" Mac Pro is capable of editing 4k files, this is what I prefer to get. It appears based on this website my options for the 15" is the "15" Mid 2015 Int Graphics"?

4) What makes Macbook Pro's so desired when it comes to video & photo editing? I feel like a lot of other laptops are fast+powerful+high resolution.
5) On the topic of Final Cut X vs Adobe Premiere, I read some reviews stating that Adobe is better at color grading+editing vids, thoughts? What makes is "better"? I know a major benefit of using Final Cut X is how fast the render time is.
Thanks!
