Apple Mac Pro 'Monolith' for Video Editing. By Thomas Hanser. On Jun 25, 2018 at 5:58:31 pm: I have to upgrade my aging Mac Pro 2008 to a newer machine and I'm considering the Mac Pro 3.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 or similar. This is the newer style machine that resembles a black cylinder and not a traditional-looking desktop box.

Pretty much any Intel mac will be able to do this. However, I would probably recommend not dipping below 6GB of RAM and at least an Intel I5 (this is what I would consider my bare-bones minimum to prevent me from throwing it at a wall while it takes 3 days to export a 2 minute clip, YMMV). If you're going to have an external hard drive, the 256GB internal may be enough for you. If not, videos and photos take up a lot of space, you may want to up the anty to about 512GB or even the 1TB depending on how much you plan on editing.
As an FYI, almost any computer can apply edits to a video, what takes the most time is going to be exporting/finalizing your projects.
