Looking at this iMac, refurbished:

8GB memory
1TB hard drive
Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200

Looking to replace my MacBook Air mid '13. I need more grunt to edit videos in Adobe Premiere CC. Price is good ... opinions???

I also have a PC Gaming Laptop ... I have tried Adobe Premiere on it, not bad, but can't stand Win. 10.

Also, would Geekbench 4.0 show results for the iMac so I can compare to my Gaming Laptop?? Are they comparable??

Thanks!

Yes Geekbench has all macs they are comparable as it just tests the hardware not software.

If you are looking at video editing however then graphics cards become a more important component that isn't really tested in Geekbench.

Iris pro desktop graphics are slightly better than a 750m found in a MacBookk pro so the performance should be pretty good.
 
Do you need the 1TB drive ? Would an external HDD with USB3 cover 'extra' storage ? Reason I ask is there's another model, with a 2.8ghz processor (vs the 3.1ghz) but it has a 256gb SSD. I see now that it doesn't have a 4K display though....
