I have already the FCP X in one of my 2010 IMacs but I need a Mac pro for traveling and editing purposes. Not the latest one. The first one capable to work with FCP X. In what year or model of Mac pro start the capability to download and use FCP X ?. Already tried in my iMac 2008 and it didn't work. Thanks.
Final Cut Pro X, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), Imac 2008,Core 2 Duo, 4GB, 64bit,
Did you mean to ask about MacBook Pros? In other words, are you looking for a laptop model?

You can easily compare the minimum system specs to what you want to buy on the used market or from Apple's refurbished store. There are many used Macintosh books and desktops in the world, no matter where you are located.
From the Apple marketing pages for FCPX (Be conservative and shop carefully, these are just the basics; get the most RAM the largest drive, and the best graphics system you can afford) (If you're getting a MacBook, budget for a good but inconspicuous protective case, an extra charger, some peripheral cables, a backup drive, and all that other stuff that makes editing less painful on a portable):
| Minimum System Requirements |

I have already FCP X. What I need to know it's what's the first model of Mac Pro that accept FCP X.
If your version of FCP is the latest, 10.2, then (as per David's compatibility info), the MP needs to be able to run 10.4.4 or later. That means the earliest MP would be the early 2008 model.
If your version of FCP X is earlier than 10.2, please post \back with that info.

edit: typo. should read 10.10.4 (Yosemite)

Yes, we figured out that you have FCPX, thank you. What we don't know is why you want a Mac Pro for editing while traveling. Although, actually, that's a good idea; the old giant aluminum box or the new cylinder, along with two monitor, good speakers and a comfy chair, are much more fun to edit with than a wee laptop.
Find the machine you want to pay for and then look up its specifications (easily found via google) and compare them against the minimum specs for FCPX
From which model of Mac pro FCP X it's available?
