My HP ZD7000 is a work horse with Premiere Pro + just about anything else I throw at. They now have the ZD8000 which is the next iteration. Purchase through Costco.com and you'll have a 6-month unconditional return for any reason warranty. I know 3 other people who have purchased the ZD based on my recommendation and they love it.
