[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1018913, member: 145676"] But a decade ago there was no HD either. The OP mentions Premiere and AE - both can be graphics intensive. If all you are dealing with is standard definition or DVD type, you should be able to get away with any of the mac notebooks. If you are dealing with HD, you will need as much power as you can get. The 9600GT with its discrete memory will also help. Note also you need a 7200 RPM drive as well.

Again this is how I have my machine setup for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and AVCHD editing and it does fine for the little movies I do. [/QUOTE]
