Hi - I'm looking for a desktop tower/box (am told they are more powerful and cheaper than a laptop) to replace my 12 year old macbook pro. I am fed up with macs and the constant updating, lack of ports etc etc. I want another computer to last another 12 years!

I think I'm gonna cross over to something that's not a mac. I have a screen, a mouse and a keyboard...I not just need the thing that makes it all work.

I am so out of touch with what's what I'd love some advice - my main aim is to edit some 4k footage I have on a hard drive - so anything that's not too expensive or bulky that could do this would be excellent.

Then....do I need to buy a load of software to go on it or do PCs come with video editing software these days?!

Apologies for my ignorance - thank you in advance!!
 
Ah okay - thank you so much for this info. I was really hoping to escape the mac world (I don't like their ethics as a company) but may have to admit defeat ....is there no PC equivalent to a mac mini I wonder?
