  I want the best features in my budget ( under 500$ ) For offline editing indie film

  Because I worked freelancer video editor and colorist,
  I have 3 monitors ( One monitor is BENQ PD2700Q｜27-inch 2K QHD for grading) & 4 TB WD my book black

  the workstation was desktop PC built that needs some upgrades after having CPU damaged but I can’t wait for building pc because it is overwhelming and need many steps to set up beforehand and I don’t have the time for this now

  there are examples of movies in Hollywood edited in proxy on laptop or low features device

  this setup shown in photos below from Baby driver editing:

  Macbook + A-grade Monitor + External Hard drives + Sony MDR 7506

  I want the best convenient Ready-to-go device and with best features in my Budget that will be capable of

  1. offline editing on premiere proxy footages from cinema cameras Like Alexa or RED or Ursa mini pro (Also transcoding in Encoder)

  2. Also, Heavy smooth browsing (+100 tabs) for researching my scripts and will be reliable for 3-4 years with no lag or freezing

  Please, recommend me ” specific products & the required specs” whether it is laptop or Apple device ?
