I've been using FCP for a couple of years (first FCP 7 and then FCP X). I've used it with iMacs, so can't comment on the MacBook Pro.
FCP X is fine for a beginner. It has a lot of features -- but you don't need to use them initially. As you get more experience, and want to do more sophisticated things, you'll find that there are features in FCPX that will allow you to do them.
For a beginner, its very simple to use as it uses a 'magnetic' time-line. It's as simple as pulling the clips onto the time-line in the order that you want them, move them around into the final, correct sequence, trim the beginnings and ends of the clips, add a title ..... and there's your first movie.
In addition to FCP X, you would also need to get Compressor to generate the final movie.
The Osmo can record in 4K -- so if you plan on editing in 4k, you need to ensure that any hardware you get is sufficiently powerful to handle it.
