[QUOTE="Derek McNelly, post: 595358, member: 47675"] I haven't found that to be quite true myself. I know I need to get more memory for it to speed up, (I can't edit 720p comfortably with anything but Final Cut open), but my MacBook has been handling HD pretty darn good. Not as good as the G5 iMacs in the computer lab do, sadly. And if I have to edit 1080i or 1080p, I'm gonna feel the hurt without 3GB of RAM. However, I'm helping a friend of mine edit a project he shot completely in 720p Widescreen on my MacBook, and it's not very bad at all. I'm actually surprised how well it runs. My only complaint is that encoding HD is a little on the "not blazingly fast" side. The actual editing isn't bad at all. [/QUOTE]
