Sell 2007 24", get 27"?

Problem with 24"s are that there are plenty of them on sale at eBay etc, and because Apple offers 24" for 1100$ in refurb store, prices for used ones are horrible as well. If it does its job well, I wouldn't sell it but if you're ready to pay the exchange, sure go for it

Published (2009-11-24 18:46:00)
I edit all of my movies in iMovie and it's painless. My 5400rpm drive is the ONLY bottleneck, so opting for a 7200rpm may patch that up. Really, the lowest-end MacBook Pro will suffice for iMovie, I don't know what software she wants to use but I'm ALWAYS confident that my MacBook Pro has the power necessary for all my needs.

A portable Mac would be fine for casual video editing. I recommend a 15" MacBook Pro. If the price is a bit much then the 13" would still be a fine choice.

i think a lot of people are in the same situation. try to think of it like this. if you got an imac and in a year or so you run out of HDD space (possible as you are editing HD footage) you'll need externals. when you reach your limit of 8GB ram your a bit stuck. when you want a better screen (if one comes out that is, the imac ones are very nice) you are just stuck with what you have....

here are my thoughts on why i bought a macbook instead of a pc laptop pros: looks - the laptops really set the standard in design and are very beautiful. trackpad - the multitouch trackpad is amazing. i can't stress enough how much of a pleasure it is to use for web browsing, expose, zooming, etc. cons: price - getting a mac probably cost me 30% more than what ...

Had Macs for 19 years. Never needed a repair I couldn't do myself (example, hard drive replacement -- all hard drives will fail sooner or later). Current: MacBook C2D refurb - perfect condition, no troubles.

Not stupid at all. Its actually an excellent setup. I have my 15in mbp on one of the rain stands and I have a magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard. I love the setup. When I go back to my living area I plug it into my cinema display and have the same setup (although different keyboard and mouse) back there.

Get a mac mini and use it with your existing monitor. Then you still have the netbook to haul around school.
