Looking to buy a laptop mainly used for editing video & storing a good amount of pictures/HD video clips. I have a budget of around $1200-$1500. Just looking for some input.

Thanks!

I not an Apple geek by any means, but Mac is the way to go for video/image editing in my (limited) experience. I had an old PowerBook G4 or something a few years ago, and that thing was so easy to edit, sample, include effects, etc.

I recommend a Mac with Aperture ($80 substitute for Lightroom). I like he way it coordinates with iPhoto very easily. It is vey simple and intuitive.

I think Sam's Club has a 3TB external HD for under $150; maybe even under $100 unless it was just one particular Club that had a price drop.

I am not a Apple geek either, but finding my self with an Iphone, Ipad and getting ready to buy a Mac lapper. I'd go Apple. Having never had one i have no advise lol, but am leaning that way.

I have an old MacBook Pro (ca. 2009) that I'm keeping primarily as a video-editing tool.

My experiment running Windows on it via BootCamp and virtual machine (Parallels) failed - well, not miserably, but close enough. But for video, it's about as good as it gets in laptop-land.
