    Fortunately, that’s relatively basic because most phones and computers now can edit 4K. You should still try to buy hardware that meets the Recommended (not Minimum) specs for each of the applications you mentioned. They each list different requirements, so if you want to use all of those applications, base your purchase on the Recommended level requirements of the most demanding applications on your list.

     

    In addition, with more features using AI and GPU acceleration now, don’t get the cheapest graphics hardware option. It would be best to have a good GPU (discrete if on a Windows PC) with a lot of VRAM so that AI features run fast.
