Most people don't need the fastest computer currently made so the argument which is faster isn't relevant to most buyers. Most geek computer fanboys (PC and Mac) just like comparing specs and then argue which is better rather than think about how someone uses a device in real life. Since Apple's switch to using Intel chips, Mac and PC computers now basically can use the exact same components. Your choice comes down to which OS you like; Mac or Windows. There are other factors when choosing but the major decision does come down to whether you like one OS or the other. Your task of rendering videos and converting DVDs seems like it will be your most intensive tasks. You should buy one of the higher end faster Macs and if it's a notebook you want then Apple is rumored to come out with updated faster notebooks sometime soon. If you can't wait and you don't mind getting a desktop then the iMacs have just been updated so they are plenty fast with the latest technology. The current MacBook Pros are fast too and I have one myself...but the newer ones are rumored to come out soon so the choice is yours. If you live close to an Apple store then you can try them out for yourself.</blockquote>
