If you want one for video editing, get a video editing program. I think all the main ones come out on both Mac and PC. In my opinion, Mac's iMovie is better than Window's Movie Maker. But if you're buying a whole new PC just for that. Then it would be cheaper to just buy a program. Depending on how powerful your current pc/laptop is.

The difference between Mac and PC. Hmmm. I don't think you're going to find a straight answer to that. For one, there isn't really a difference. They do pretty much the same thing. Mac is more expensive. But, some people (like myself) do prefer the operating system over Windows. If you know how to drag n drop, you will be able to use a Mac. Everything is, you could say, simplified. That's not to say there isn't a learning curve though. Some of the language is different. You will come across compatibility issues with Mac on certain programs. BUT this can be countered by the fact that you can legally (and is encouraged) duel boot between Mac and Windows 7.

So if you can afford it. Buy yourself a toy, you will be impressed with Mac I bet. Dual boot it with Windows. You have the best of both worlds then.

So like I said. Just the operating system

Well, without hacking a Windows PC can't run Mac OSX. But an Apple can run Windows. So something is different in the hardware. But then again. Does BF care about the hardware aspects? Mac will have Thunderbolt and most likely USB 3.0. So there's a plus to them as well.

I never understood why you'd want to run Windows on a Mac, but there you are. Can get USB 3 on PC.

Depends on budget. I use a 300 quid laptop to do all my work on. It's a bit slow rendering but gets there.

Compatibility issues. Duh! Not many people would want to sit at two PCs

I know. I'm just trying to list the advantages of a Mac. Thunderbolt and USB3. Excellent for heavy video uploading.

I think it's obvious BF wants to treat himself to a new gadget toy. I'm not heavily defending Mac's. I'm just pointing out the fact that if he went for a MAc, duel booting is an option. Best of both worlds.

My friend works in graphics and uses photoshop, not sure about video editing, he swears Mac is superior/easier.

I have an ipod touch love it for holidays and handbag, taking all my holiday photos out tonight to show friends, and to check facebook.

ooh me too Dellas

ive got two Touch's actually

filled the first one up!

Please somebody, tell this deranged old fartess, what the Hell is TOWIE short for?

The Only Way Is Essex.

Terribly wasteful. Just nuke Essex.

ITV is a pseudonym for mindless pap. It stands for Idiotic Twat Vision.
