This PC is a refreshing surprise for video editors, coming in at a wallet-friendly price point and in a package so small it’s almost cute. The astoundingly-powerful HP Z2 Mini has been called the sportscar of workstations, but that nickname may make you think it also carries a high price tag. You end up with max screen real-estate and Oscar-worthy style. Other video-editing goodies include NVIDIA GTX graphics, legendary Audio by Bang & Olufsen for rich, immersive sound, and a space-saving, ergonomic design on the adjustable, micro-edge display. If your filmmaking dreams outstrip your bank balance, you can start at entry level and then add more and bigger hard drives, memory, and better processors as you grow, up to a 4.7 GHz Intel Core i7 chip. You can start out with a base model at a super-affordable price or trick it out with up to 32GB of speedy SDRAM for blazing renders.

The coolest thing about the HP ENVY All-in-One? Its versatility. With three massive options, you can turn your workspace into a desktop-based raw footage storage vault.Īlso, if you choose to use external hard drives to store your project files, you’ll be lightning-fast, with a pair of USB-C ports and 2 USB-A ports for more speed. Choose between multiple hard drive options, like a 1TB hybrid drive or 256GB solid-state drive (SSD), plus your choice of a 1TB HDD or 256GB SSD, plus a 2TB HDD. Today’s 4K screens are driving video storage needs through the ceiling tiles.

It’s our top pick for the best computer for video editing, and it includes a 27-inch floating glass display, 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 or i7 processor, and optional discrete NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 950M graphics to get you intimately close to your work. When it comes to gorgeous visuals and practical power, the HP ENVY All-in-One is a video-editing dream machine.
