[QUOTE="shfle, post: 717028, member: 42208"] [I][I] A $500 laptop will be about as effective at video editing as a George Forman Grill would be at it! It will have a rubbish processor (Probably Celeron), be made with the cheapest components available and will have a terrible overall build quality. Surfing the web and word processing are about the limits of these machines. To actually compare the price of Macs to PCs you need to compare machines with similar specs, as stated by the earlier poster look beyond the fact that it also has wireless etc. and look at the processor etc. as these are far more important when performing extremely demanding tasks like video editing. The price difference is a common misconception, as many people tend to see the cheapest Mac laptop at X amount and the cheapest PC laptop at X amount, then deduct the difference. These are not similar machines. When compared to similar specced PC laptops (From major brands with a decent build quality) the price difference is nowhere near as significant.[/i][/i] [/QUOTE]
