Love my macbook pro. Video/photo editing is a breeze on it. I doubt I'll go back to a PC again.

But they're expensive. It really depends on your budget. If the primary use is as a family computer for web surfing, word processing, etc with a little movie work on the side, it's not worth the extra cash. An iMac will run you at least $1200... that HP is half the price, and will still do a great job on GoPro footage.

Just stay the heck away from Dell. I'm done for good with them after the junk I had to deal with last summer. Crap products, and worse customer service.

Like Jack said, there's certainly a price premium...but I don't know too many Apple owners that go back.

Yea, that's why I ask. Lots of friends that have made the change and love them. What to do, what to do........

Not a "gamer" household and don't want to be. Tons and tons of pics and videos though with 3 young children.
