Macs are expensive ornaments. Sorry to all the Mac-heads

Yeah. Somehow I doubt you've used OS X, but if you have I'd inquire what you didn't like about it. And an 80 gig hard drive is going to be fine for people doing video editing. I got along on 12GB just fine for years. You're not going to have a slew of games taking up a gig a piece on you're Mac (for better or worse), so space isn't such an issue.

I agree, it could use a RAM upgrade, but Mac OS X is generally very efficient when it comes to RAM allocations (*ix systems in general).

As for the Mac's not being better for music and video editing is completely bogus. The software Mac's come with are awesome - iLife comes with GarageBand. Some of the best music arranging software ever created. Not to mention Final Cut isn't available for PC, and I personally hate working with anything else.

But whatever. To each his/her own.
