What Mac is Best For Me?

[Max Veteran]

I do light/medium video editing, and a bit of Macromedia Fireworks/Dreamweaver.

My school has just invested in two eMacs, which seem pretty cheap and do the job I want them to, but I maybe wrong, as I am currently a 'Windows' person.

What kind of a Mac would you reccommend me?

if you think the emac is fine then any new powerbook should be very well for you...

[isus]

what kind of mac are you looking for? portable, desktop, or all-in-one?

i wouldn't recommend you go buy a powermac or imac, as it is rumored that they will be updated in january/feb.

really, any mac is fine, they are all quite quick now.

iMac are a good choice, the LCD is top notch. About waiting I would say that if you really need it now then just get it, its not like the iMac's are gonna stop using budget graphics cards or become much faster then they are now.

Yea, it depends on your budget. The eMac is a GREAT introduction to Macintosh, and OS X. Especially if moneys not flush for Dual G5's. Maybe, you should look to pickup and old/refurb G4 PowerMac. That way you're spending money close to an eMac / iMac with the expandability of a Tower ... and a little more power than the iMac / eMac... especially with a Dual. Sounds ideal, except you'd need a display?

...but its really hard to recommend a Mac, unless we know more about'cha!

Peace
