Thinking about getting an iMac

[finz4lyfe]

I was thinking about getting an iMac with 4K or 5 k display. My 2011 MacBook Pro doesn't handle my 4K footage. Will the iMac handle my 4K videos?

Think you'll find most computers wouldnt. You'll have to change resolution to 1/4 or 1/2 but an iMac should mean that you don't need to create a proxy edit

I have a 2012 iMac and it handles 4k video flawlessly. Renders are lightning fast as well.

Same with my 2015 5K, no problem at all, had to replace my 2011 iMac as it was choking on the 4K.

Any certain specs I need to have on it?

If you're buying new, then even the base model should be sufficient.

Also planning on getting a 27 in 5K. Waiting a month or two as a product refresh is expected in March/April.

I thought of that but after going to MacRumers it looks like the refrest won't be much of an improvement, just a bit faster processor at the top end (I got the 4.2Ghz) and a faster option for video card, which isn't needed for 4k, just if you are a serious gamer.
