Mac V.S PC.

*~CProws~* · 2007-11-11 15:40:48

Hey I am getting a new computer and it pretty much just for editing. I can't decide between a mac or a pc. Also, what software is THE software these days. Please help....

there's a reason that macs are the industry standard for graphics, phot, video, and multimedia editing in general. go with a mac.

Yeah, the reason is marketing.

Seriously though, if you're really into video editing try and find somewhere that you can try out final cut pro and adobe premiere. I prefer Final Cut but Premiere is very similar and can be just as good.

make sure you have lots of ram and hard drive space, a terrabyte might be a wise investment if you do a lot of editing

Marketing? 8 years working on Macintosh and I've had at most 12 lethal crashes where i had to restart the computer, oh yeah and ZERO viruses I doubt any PC user could claim this.

MacBook Pro with Final Cut Studio 2. LaCie 1TB, LaCie 500 GB, LACie 250 GB.

If you want to use premiere, just use a PC. Theres no need to load that on a mac when FC does everything premiere does plus a lot more.

get a mac, especially if you want it mostly for editing.
i went from a pc to a mac and when i tried my friends pc after like 4 months of using a mac, i couldnt stand it, everything about macs is just faster, smoother, easier, and just better.

Macs thrive on hype and good marketing. They aren't really any better at graphic design or editing (personal opinion). I'm not biased either, I have a PC and a Macbook Pro.

Yeah see i was a PC but now i am mac..

#1 the updated OS is really nice the quadrants or how ever... it is super nice to be able to keep a laptop desktop clean.

#2 i got a macbook but i would recommend a macbook pro just for the better video card.

There are so many cool details on my macbook pro that make it so much better than my last laptop (a PC) it not just marketing, although Apple is a marketing juggernaut. Its just a much better machine.
