I am talking to you Juventus3 and llama64! as well as any others that have an opinion. I am not particularly interested in Macs suck posts, unless they are pretty funny.

I am not a power user but have some familiarity with computers.

I have used Windows for years and am getting sick and tired of working on my computer not working on doing stuff on my computer. Firewalls, virus (viri?), trying to get cameras and video camers to work etc.

I am just tired of it. So I am thinking of making the jump to a Mac laptop.

What I want to do primarily is create videos from my camcorder. I have a sony hi-def and I think both versions will work with it. I only want to do very basic stuff, edit out bad parts, add captions, maybe some music.

I would also surf, p2p, and very minimal word processing/spreadsheet stuff like house budgets and football pools. I would not be gaming as that is what a console is for, in my opinion.

I would like some feedback on whether the macbook could handle my needs or if I should go pro. I see the video as taking the most power but if the difference is measured in minutes vs. hours then I can probably live with it. I would likely max out the RAM with aftermarket when I did get it. Would this help with the editing?

Thanks for everybody's input.
