[QUOTE="jazzspot, post: 1021508, member: 148196"] I'm more or less a total newbie to Mac. I'm getting into the video editing business and I will be using the Final Cut Suite software mostly along with other software like Photoshop & After Effects CS4. Now I need to know which Mac hardware should I invest in buying? I'm planning to purchase the 17" MBP for its portability and I was going to build it with the following options: 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM, 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm, 17-inch Hi-Resolution Antiglare Widescreen Display. With those upgrades, the price is $3,500. Would I be wiser to buy an IMac (27") with 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x2GB, 1TB Serial ATA Drive??? But I will be sacrificing the portability of the MBP which I will need at times. I've read several posts here, stating that buying a Mac Pro wouldn't be a wise thing to do since Apple will be upgrading the Mac Pro line some time this year. I also read the same applies to the MBP line. Please help a newbie out, and point me in the right direction! What should I purchase? Cost for the hardware is not a problem, but I really don't want to buy an iMac and a MBP. Thanks, Tony [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
