What should I get???

Post by jaredcosta »

I am wondering what type of computer to get, Apple or XP, I know that Apple is great for video stuff which I do do a lot of but I have been on Windows for a long time and don't know if I want to change..

I need something that is 15.4 LCD and 1.6GHz, 512mb RAM & 40GB HD for under $1500.00 (AU) .

Anyone got any ideas, also what general stuff can't I do on a Apple??

cheers

Well you cannot use PC programs on a MacIntosh, and vise versa for the most part. Personally I don't have a problem with XP. More people seem to use Apple systems for video editing, but the downside is it costs more for what it can do. Premiere Pro is very good. Mostly it is user preference. I would look for reviews on both sides and try to demo software to see what you like and do not like.

If price is a strong matter, I would go with a PC.

Well for that money, a system like that should be EASY to get.

If you know how to build computers check out http://www.msy.com.au

Don't settle with 40gb though, video needs lots more room.
