Mac or PC?

what's your budget? The cheapest mac book is £750 if memory serves. It really depends on what you're using it for, but if the main reason you want to get a new piece of kit is for editing, its worth saving for the mac.
Im basically searching around trying to see if I can get one donated to me or something cause I can't seem to save anything at the moment. But I've always wanted one cause I've never messed with iMovie. Only Vegas[DOUBLEPOST=1448340942,1448340852][/DOUBLEPOST]
for me, PC. I can do more with it, I animate and edit plenty and everything is obtainable on both OS's I was forced to use macs for 3 years at college and it put me right off macs. I don't know why artists always prefer them, I guess its the interface?. The mic quality and things like garage band are great though, if that's your thing.
I think its the interface that pulls most in and just the user friendly features, as far as I know.

I've only ever briefly used Vegas, but personally, I prefer iMovie. It doesn't have quite as many features as Vegas, but it's much more user friendly in my opinion, and Vegas is very particular about lining clips up perfectly and it can be a pain to move things up if you've deleted a clip in the middle. I don't know if that's because I hadn't found that tool or something, but I just feel like everything in iMovie is easier, and all the tools are much easier to get to. I'd search reviews of iMovie if you want to make a decision between the two. Obviously Final Cut Pro is the better option, it's basically iMovie with a billion extra features, but it's £200, and so it can take some saving for. I personally don't even feel like an upgrade to Final Cut is necessary yet, maybe when I start shooting bigger projects (And I actually get another job because I just lost mine).

But yeah, if it's editing software you'd use it for, take a look at some iMovie reviews on YouTube or something :)
 
It depends on what you're more comfortable working with :) Mac basic editing programs are more basic and easy to learn than some of the windows one, tough both have premiere pro the only difference might be the controls. Also people there are things around the interweb were you can find the programs *wink wink* , I myself use Final Cut Pro and before I use to use WMM for AMVs and everything work perfectly

I've used Vegas since I was 16 and I've come to know the controls relitivly well. I'm just not sure if I wanna take the leap of faith haha

loool you know I tried vegas once and I was reaaaally confuse XD I know you can do a ton of cool things there but I don't have the patience to sit down and learn it lol
 
I´m guessing it depends on what i´m using it for, if I´m looking for a decent gaming computer, I would choose a PC, but if I want a computer for regular stuff, I would use a Mac!
 
A ton of people use Mac, But yet again a ton of people use PC
I just stuck to what I know best and that is PC
Maybe down the track I might borrow some Mac of some type and actually play around with it with some trial video editing software
 
I have been doing it with a PC for all my life and I create OK content I reckon. And the added benefit? You can play all games! HAHAHA!
 
I suggest PC, but in case make yourself an Hackintosh, so you have the reliable OS without the overpriced hardware.
 
I paid a lot for my Mac but I am very satisfied with it. That being said, I am no gamer. I enjoy casually gaming and technically my Mac specs are so good (minus the graphics card) that I can play big games flawlessly. I mostly use my mac for creative purposes (video editing, photography, and music). Performs excellent!
