[QUOTE="leecho7, post: 237677, member: 19293"] Hey everyone, I'm new here to these forums. I currently have an iMacG5 (the 17" 2gig model with 1.5gig ram), that I use mainly for Final Cut Pro (not studio). I make short films to add to my portfolio (part of the application process to many film/grad schools in creative arts), and short documentaries for my local church. My main question is, would any of you recommend the switch from the iMacG5 to the new Macbooks? The reason why I want to go Macbook is because space is a factor for me. I know iMacG5 is an entire computer in a LCD screen, and it literally is a space saving design, but I already have a PC that takes up a lot of space in my small apartment room. I don't run photoshop or other apps, I just mainly use Final Cut Pro, with the occasional AIM and Firefox/Safari and iTunes. The length of the movies I edit rarely exceeds past 20 minutes. And it's not like I edit movies every day, realistically about 3-4 10-20minute shorts a year. [/QUOTE]
