New to Mac...help me choose

[lugzlebo]

Hi,

Ok...heres the deal..

I'm a casual video editor...I get a fair few jobs here and there and i've always been editing on a PC using Premiere Pro, which has been fine but I do prefer to use a mac, i've just never really had the cash coz im a full time student.

I've been looking around for a macbook pro for the past few weeks and have been offered a macbook pro with these specs for $900USD

I Just wanna know if it's worth it...coz when I look on the official apple site, there are a few differences (such as the graphics card) and on the official site it's alot more expensive...

what do you guys think??
