[QUOTE="Eddie NYC, post: 277251"] We are finally making the switch from PC to Mac, as well as from desktop to notebook (this less driven by choice!), and have a question about configuring the new computer. We are getting the 17 inch system with 2 gig of RAM and primarily will use for 1) picture editing, 2) capturing/editing/burning home movies to DVD (typically an hour each), and normal MS office apps. For the video editing, should I go with the 7200 or the 5400 HD. I know the 5400 has more space, but I plan on getting some sort of external hard drive (recommendations appreciated here) so I'm less concerned about space than I am about 1) creating clean DVD's and 2) not killing the hard drive due to heat or some other factor that I don't know about that could result from a decent amount of editing. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
