Mac or PC for video editing for my DJI Mini 2?

For $800 you can get the Mac M1 Desktop and that will set you up nicely for the editing no matter what editing
process you use. Adobe Premiere , Davinci or Final Cut X or 4K and even some 6K with there new chip.

The only downfall on the Computer is your limited to 16 Gigs Memory.

I am looking to buy either Mac or PC for my video editing. I have done a little editing quite a few years ago before even 1080P was around.
Got a budget of around £700. Quite tech savvy but just wondered what sort of processing power you guys are adopting.
I won't be using Final Cut or Premiere Pro, probably Filmora or Power Director.
8 or 16gb RAM? Is Quad Core really necessary for 4K editing? SSD OR HDD? Video Card?
Finally, pro's and cons of working with proxies as opposed to native files?

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Chris.

I learned on a AVID mac based but use a PC with Pinnacle Studio 22 and it works great.
