I'm looking for some advice on purchasing a new Mac. I currently have a MacMini (2011), 2.3ghz dual-core i5 with 16gb of ram and I'm looking to upgrade but I am on a limited budget being a college student. I do video editing as a hobby and although I've used Final Cut X just fine on my current Mac Mini, I'd like to upgrade.
So I was looking at either getting a 21.5 inch iMac (refurbished) for $1,099 with 2.7ghz quad-core i5, 8gb ram, iris pro graphics, and 1tb hard drive, or with the rumors, would it be wise to wait for the new MacMini and just buy a high end one?
I know dedicated graphics would be better for video editing, but honestly anything will be an improvement over my current 2011 MacMini. If the rumors are true, is there a big difference with Iris Graphics vs Iris Pro Graphics? Do you think the MacMini would end up with the Iris Pro Graphics? Just looking for some advice. Thanks!
