Ive got iWork '08 but they just released iWork '09. Got the mac equivalent of Word, Excel and Powerpoint.iWork '08 costs £50 for the full package. Just MS Word '07 costs something like £65.
Seems so hard to get Adobe stuff for free now due to needing telephonic confirmation of license codes.
Would you be happy with the single 1TB SATA hard drive, or (like me) would you think about some form of back up too?
I know about Flash etc, but I don't mind if the kids can't go on YouTube and games
If I were to go for an iMac (can't afford a Pro!!!) there are a couple of things I'd like to know:Would the standard spec (3.4GHz quad core + 8GB RAM + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5) suffice for HD video editing?
Is Final Cut Pro X any good? I'm used to Premiere Pro.
Are Macs OK for running M$ Office on nowadays, as I'd still need to do work stuff.
Cheers. As I say, I've always mirrored drives for backup- is there any Mac option, or is it just external backing up?
I was talking more about the desktop, tomtom, but the same applies.Jasper, I know what you're saying but I work hard and I quite like nice looking things that function well It's not like I'll upgrade over the next 5 years.The discount seems to knock about £250 off anyway.
Nearly every single idea is built on something else.
I really think the world would be a better place without aggressive advertising.
Thread Resurrection!!!!!!!!!!!I just wanted some advice about Macs really. My super computer which I built for myself a long time ago for video editing is about to die. Basically the kids downloaded all sorts of games plus nasties, the main drive died and it's had to have an OS (XP) reinstall. I, being paranoid, have 3 x 750GB drives with two mirrored for data I need to keep so I didn't lose everything. This PC is now knackered, so we are looking at a replacement. My wife likes Macs, so I have had a little look. I'm currently a student (ha ha) so should be able to get a discount too.If I were to go for an iMac (can't afford a Pro!!!) there are a couple of things I'd like to know:Would the standard spec (3.4GHz quad core + 8GB RAM + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5) suffice for HD video editing?

I wouldn't like to have been blamed for some of the stuff Doylo sends to me
