[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1081938"] Unless you really live out in the boonies, there is probably an independent Apple dealer somewhere closer to you. I'm not saying DON'T buy the iMac from Best Buy, I'm saying investigate your options. iMovie will never be mistaken for a professional editing suite, but actually I like it a lot for doing short videos. The "steadicam" effect, the colour and video correction and cropping, the speed of reviewing footage and editing ... it's actually got a lot going for it even though its clearly aimed at casual and YouTube video people. Simply put, she's wrong. JPGs are JPGs. TIFs are TIFs, etc. Pictures, in short, are not an issue on either platform. Nothing really. First of all, an iMac doesn't have an upgradeable video card, and second the video card is very good (way more than what's needed to watch videos). More RAM is always nice but its not necessary for just playing SD or HD videos. [/QUOTE]
