- Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
No one "needs" a Mac for video editing, however, be it for the novice or the professional, it is certainly a good option.
Other than being the industry standard with Final Cut Pro, it also comes standard with iMovie which is good for the casual to serious movie editor, along with Garageband, if you don't want to go with Final Cut Pro, it is still one neat package , and is very streamlined and easy to use.
IMHO better than Movie Maker.
The reliability of OS X and at this point in time, being no Viruses for Mac, is also a lot safer an option.
Real serious video editing is usually done on a high end Mac Pro, where as the novice occasional editor will have fun on any Mac with it, and anywhere in between, the iMac is a great choice with value for money and that beautiful display.
Once again, you don't need a Mac or it's OS or Apple's software for video editing, but it certainly is a good option
