[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1238994, member: 24098"] Yes and yes. Yes, Microsoft makes an RDP client for OS X. Yes, absolutely. I just bought a DMC-ZS8 that uses the same format for video and it works great. Yes, iMovie can do that and a lot more. iMovie will need to transcode the video, which it will do on-the-fly. See this white paper for more detail: [url]http://tinyurl.com/3dyvocz[/url] Hope that answers your questions and do let us know if you have more. I will say that something you should consider is whether you are someone who likes change. If you tend to be set in your ways and don't enjoy the trials and tribulations of picking up something new, then the Mac might not be for you. It can be difficult to drop all of the habits that you've picked up over decades of using Windows and change your mindset over to the Mac. There are plenty of nice (and inexpensive) Windows laptops out there - the ASUS model you mentioned is certainly a good bet. But if you're ready for something new and different, the Mac might be a good pick. Just don't be surprised when you find that it is, indeed, very different. [/QUOTE]
