macbook is the way to go. I have a macbook pro. It's the best thing
that ever happend to Apple. I have been using Mac's for a very long
time and this is the best mac I have ever sat behind.
Macbook just work. No patches, you don't have to worry about viruses,
and they are easy to use with a camera. The macbook comes with idvd
witch is really easy to use (and fun).
I just hope you camera isn't a DVD handycam. I have one of those, I
hates every computer and has a proprietary video format.
