Hi,
I don't know if I have posted in the correct forum. I am really annoyed with my imac. It is basically the worst computer I have ever had - it's a G5 and I have had it repaired about 5 times now by apple and had the hard drive replaced 4 times! I am now having to take it in again to Apple to be repaired again! Afterwards I will sell it on as spares. I do feel with Apple Mac 'never again' in a way. I don't trust them anymore.
I was about to embark on learning Final Cut Pro and getting started with filmmaking but now I am wondering (since I am going to have to buy a new computer) what computer I should buy. I have looked at the specs and PC's seem far better value for money - much more powerful compared to Macs. I was thinking of running adobe premiere and only using the computer for editing and capturing, nothing else such as internet (to stop any bugs). I was just wondering what people's experiences are on this forum since I think Mac have a very clever marketing campaign which make Macs appear to be tailored for 'creative uses' but is that really the reality.
I want to spend about £1500-700 and just really don't know if I should get a mac book pro or a pc. Your thoughts?
