hi so im 14 and next year i will start a 2 year media course for my GCSE's and my dad has also said he is willing to buy me a new 2011 mac book pro for school/editing so what hte question really comes down to is what specs do i NEED to edit AVCHD footage smoothly and to be able to run final cut express and after effects CS5 and premiere pro CS5 , ive googled this and most answers i seem to get are get the 17 inch macbook pro now my budget is about £900 - £1400 as i dont really think my dad should have to dish out £2000 for a top of the range mac book pro, i dont need a super computer im not making avater the remake or anything like that mostly youtube video and in the future a student film so could i get off with using the 13 inch model or will have to resort to the 15 inch highend one also i will be upgrading the ram to 8GB
thanks
