[QUOTE="sevenhelmet, post: 400007, member: 10935"] I second that. If future-proof is your priority, buy the most expensive machine you can afford. It will pay off in the long run since computers depreciate very quickly. For video editing, I would say even if the existing software does not take advantage of all 8 cores, future versions will. The key is keeping your programs up-to-date. DO NOT BUY EXTRA RAM FROM APPLE HOWEVER. As much as I like the Apple company, they charge a hefty premium on RAM which you can easily buy from crucial.com (among others) for WAY less money and install yourself (very easy.) [/QUOTE]
