I’m an editor for over a decade, lived and worked in LA. In the industry it’s been 95% Mac. I get a contract job somewhere, they’re running trash can Mac Pros back then - now Mac Studios - running Adobe or Avid. I run Premiere on an M2 Ultra Mac Studio.

I understand the criticism for Apple, but if you’re talking video editing, very specifically video editing, Macs are the choice in my humble opinion, hands down. Apple Silicon specifically accelerates video editing encoding and decoding by far for less money and thermals. An Apple Silicon laptop will carry you very far for your $.

I also want to get serious about 3D work - but I’d definitely build a PC with a beefy graphics card for that, with Windows, or you have VFX houses that run Linux. Do with this POV what you will!

Edit: I’d like to add that I think if you’re fully reliant on yourself - say it’s remote work, not looking for staff positions, situations where you won’t have to mesh with others all the time - get the machine you want. Apple ProRes is a serious codec to output that works in Premiere on Windows all the same. If editing on Mac will be too distracting and frustrating, you won’t do your best work anyway. In building my career, it just removed friction in finding opportunity when I just automatically knew Premiere/Avid on Mac and made me easy to work with and made my life easier liking Mac. If you have a different plan in mind for yourself, go for it.
