When you’re making decisions about what equipment your church needs to run presentations, you have a lot to consider. Beyond choosing the presentation software that’s right for your church, you have to decide on hardware that fits your needs—AND your church’s budget.
This is no easy task.
To help make this process easier, the MediaShout team connected church-tech experts with hardware manufacturers to lighten the load for you. We worked directly with Dell and built the most church-centric computer bundles on the market.
Get Started with the Standard Desktop Bundle
With this hardware package, you’ll get everything you typically need, memory, improved speed, a great processor, and more for the more basic presentations that still include media. The standard bundle also supports multiple displays. If your church is considering branching into multi-screen presentations, this desktop bundle will be a great start.
Take a look at the Standard Desktop Bundle.
Level up with the Premium Desktop Bundle
This middle-of-the-line system has a few more tricks up its sleeve… It includes a higher-end processor that allows for speed where you need it most. If your church wants to up your presentation game with large-scale HD presentations and streaming this hardware package is for you.

Go above and beyond with the Pro Desktop Bundle
This bundle is by far the most powerful system we’ve ever curated for your use. Designed with the best processor, video card, an additional “SSD” drive, this computer is perfect for every need you could have. If you’re interested in advanced video editing and high-end presentations, this is the best system your money can buy.

Stay agile with the Laptop Bundle
Churches who rely on volunteers with rotating presentation responsibilities will love how versatile the laptop bundle is. It’s perfect for agile church plants or portable churches. You also might want to consider the Laptop Bundle if you tend to have multiple folks putting together the weekly presentation from locations other than the church office.

Thanks for the feedback. Actually, if you add the cost of the software (which you didn’t mention in your quote) in addition to the time of installing the hardware and wiping all the unnecessary software and doing all the updates for you, it saves you quite a few hours of time, too. There is value in that and knowing that you get a 3-year warranty from Dell and us on it, just sweetens it that much more. I just want to make sure you are comparing true apples to apples. And if you want special pricing for upgraded RAM (most users don’t need more than 8 GB for this application unless they are doing video editing) or an SSD drive, then contact us to get a quote. Thanks!
What about the Mac computer? They are designed for graphics and making videos presentations.
Richard,
Thanks for asking about the Mac computers. Unfortunately, we don’t sell Mac computers as part of our bundles, but there are many comparisons now between the hardware of high-end Windows and Mac machines being very comparable (this wasn’t always the case). If you are looking at getting a Mac to run MediaShout 6 for Mac on, we recommend the following minimum specs:
2.5 GHz Processor
4 GB RAM
Dedicated Video Card with at least 512 MB of VRAM
With that said, the Dedicated Video Card is the most important part of this setup. Many of the newer Mac Mini’s, MacBook, MacBook Air, 13″ MacBook Pro, and 21.5″ / 24″ iMacs have integrated video cards (usually Intel) and although they MAY work, they don’t always and so we can’t officially recommend or suggest them. We instead would prefer a MacBook Pro, iMac, or Mac Pro with a dedicated video card (like something in the NVIDIA GTX or AMD R7/R9 series). That will get the best results for you from that stand point. Since MediaShout 6 for Mac is a 64-bit program, than the more RAM you have to work with, the better. Finally, with the processor, I recommend getting something that is at least a 3.0 GHz Quad Core or similar for best results. If you want to throw in an SSD Hard Drive (instead of a traditional hard drive), then that only helps.
Hopefully that will give you some ideas with Mac computers, but feel free to call us if you have any questions or want to ask about a specific computer configuration. Thanks!
