so im switching from a pc to a mac and im most likely getting the macbook pro. i also plan to buy final cut studio, so how much memory and what hard drive should i get for it all to run smoothly?
 
you can find final cut for free online, torrents are great! And yeah anywhere from 1g, to 2 g's will work. i edited on 1 for the longest time and did good w/ it.
 
he pretty much said it, and the pro is a very good choice if your going for a laptop. if you havent edited much or dont plan to much imovie is probably fine but i would highly reccommend FCP, and if you get the suite (torrent once again) it has other programs that all are meant to work together ie DVD studio pro, Live Type, Garage Band etc...
 
if your planning on editing on ur mac buy an external hard drive

Western Digital My Book is the one i have its 250GB runs jus as fast as the computer so you can run final cut and all those programs straight thru you external
 
quoting apple

"Choose the glossy widescreen display to make your graphics, photos, and videos appear with richer colors and deeper blacks"

Matte is anti-glare and more accurate.
 
or buy a harddrive and enclosure and put it together yourself for like 2/3rds the price. its pretty easy too. I have a lacie though, it works well. the porse
 
The point is the glossy enhances color and contrast where the matte is more realistic/accurate.
