[QUOTE="coaster, post: 967223, member: 95499"] Good points, and I didn't know about the different processor in the Pro. Quad core was a choice I was considering, but both the Apple guy at the local BestBuy and my salesperson at the dealer were the ones who actually suggested to get what I did, saying that it's so much faster and better on its own that I could use it for years and not need to be worried about upgrades. Sorry, I don't know Handbrake. I've been away from Macs for some time; early OS 9 on a G3 PowerPC was my last Mac. I'll check it out. My experience with Windows PCs, the way I use the machine, has been that upgrading the supporting hardware does more for giving me a sense of "faster and better" than does just sheer processor speed. But everybody's mileage varies, and that's one reason why I'm not a fan of a closed system. We'll have to see how it works out. [/QUOTE]
