[QUOTE="rs2sensen, post: 152116, member: 10090"] One thing, Apple does not technically support the "mini" DVDs or CDs for their slot loading drives. I've heard that they work, but if they get stuck and you have to send it to apple, you'll be payin for it. Otherwise, I think a 17" PB with 1GB ram would be a good choice, although if you are going to be heavy into the video editing, I might max out the ram. I've been planning on doing that for my Powerbook too. I do very heavy photoshop and Illustrator work, and the Powerbook handles it quite well. As far as video editing, the Powerbook will be adequate. There is definitely a pretty large difference in rendering times between a G4 and G5, but I love having the portability. I'll be buying a Powermac also when the new intels come out. For further information, I would strongly recommend taking a look at the buyers guide, which is linked with an image in my signature.
