Answer
Good gawds - talk about childish answers. We've obviously got Mac and PC fans that have no real information other than promoting their favorite platform.

The truth is - EITHER. But out of the box I would say a Mac simply because iMovie is far superior to Windows Movie Maker. Although WMM has become a fairly usable program with each consecutive release.

If you plan on using something more powerful than iMovie or WMM - say something in the prosumer category like Adobe Premiere Pro on the PC or Final Cut Pro on the Mac then use the platform of your choice. Bare this in mind - a lower end laptop PC won't cut it - but you won't have to spend the change you'd have to spend on a Mac. A Core2 duo CPU, 2 Gig or RAM or more, a good sized hard drive and a IEEE1394 interface (firewire/iLink) will get you started. Personally I'd stay away from AMD CPUs, but that's your choice. I'd also upgrade from a Vista 32bit OS to the 64bit Ultimate. You can pick up a laptop like that for under $1000 pretty easily.

mac laptop?

Q. my old dell computer broke after a few years, so now my parents said i might be able to get a laptop. a bunch of my friends have mac laptops, and they look awesome with all the cool new features and programs that they have, and i love photobooth and the camera and ichat with video chat. the only problem is that they are extremely expensive, and the cheapest one is still hundreds of dollars more than the cheapest dell laptop. are macs worth getting? is it worth spending the extra money for a mac, or do you all prefer dells? any ideas or suggestions as to whic mac or dell laptops are good? thanks sooo much to anyone who helps. xoxo


Answer
The cheapest mac laptop is going for $1099 in the US, and it comes with loads of software to get you started. So it actually have lots of value for the money you pay. And one model up, one that comes with double the memory, faster processor and DVD writer cost $1299.

See http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.

Here are some of the software that comes free with the mac.
iMovie -- create and editing movie clip for youtube.
iDVD -- put video clip together to create DVD, great software.
iPhoto -- manage digital photo, create picture book/calendar.
Garage band -- mix and create your own music
photo booth, iChat, iWeb, front row and so much more!

Mac is less prone to viruses and malware also. And what's more, here are some of the cool things. A nice mac logo on the lid that lights up when in use, a battery check button at the back lights up a row of LED to show batter indicator, when you close the lid the sleep LED pulse on and off slowly (breathing..) and the power connector lights up to amble when charging and turn to green when charging is completed.
