hi
I am new to this forum and new to Macs. I do not own a mac but I am seriously thinking of buying one. the only problem is, i do not know what to go for. I may be getting a Sony fx1 or a canon xh a1. not sure yet. but i need to get a mac to edit the HD videom from the camcorder. I have been looking around on what I can and can't upgrade myself from a mac system but all I have found yet is that I can add memory after purchase. I will be using this mac system for video editing and possibly photo editing aswell.
I am thinking of going with:
total £2,350.99
what would I be able to upgrade after that and what won't I be able to?
can i buy this http://www.click2qnet.com/Info-100050375.aspx
rather than paying £960 more to get it done by apple?
I am very greatful for any advice
thanks in advance
