Additional Comments: I am a video editor that is branching out to high end special effects. Right now i have a mac book pro but it is starting to slow down as it is 3 years old. I tend to hold onto my old footage in case of future need so it is starting to get slow due to low memory capacity. Also I would like to speed up rendering time in editing programs as I will have several running at the same time. Mac's may be the best bang for my buck but i'm not entirely sure. I feel i can get a sufficient enough PC that is more cost effective. Im not very picky on the OS because every program I have on my mac is transferable to PC anyways.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Faster computer for video editing/rendering
