well macs are pretty much grade A shit  because they handle hd real ease and can use the final cut software. i personally like sony vegas ... so im rocking with a Gateway fx series gamers laptop - 2008 model i think - and am loving it.

I'm running on a simple eMachines with 3GBs of ram, with a dual core processor, and a decent graphics card. (512MB) - It edits HD footage just fine, not great, but good. I have a 28 inch 1080P screen hooked up to it and it kicks it..

The whole setup was less than $600.

i had an HV20 with a PC and it really sucsk cause you can't really do much with HD. I got a macbook pro with final cut 2 and problem solved.

don't just get a mac. make an educated decision, like i didn't when i bought a macbook. i'm still trying to figure out how to figure out editing with out my computer slowing down to a crawl. managing almost 8k songs sucks.

Get an iMac or Mac Book. They're pricey, but it's sooo worth it. Im getting one soon, but i used them all the time at school for my video classes.
