I'm looking into getting a new computer or laptop, I'm not sure if I should go with a Mac or a PC. The main uses will be video editing, animation and possibly gaming. I'm not to the point were I'm willing to buy video editing software so I'm looking for a computer that will have video editing software already. Windows movie maker is my one true enemy, and I don't know if all PC's are equipped with it. I've invested in a pretty decent external hard drive so I'm not sure how much memory I'll be needing for the editing.
As for the gaming aspect I'm not a hardcore gamer. It'll mostly be things like Sims and some online games, but I have an old laptop I can clear that I'd be willing to use for games if I get a Mac.
And animation things...I'll be going to school in the fall for an animation degree. My school of course has computers available for this but I'm unsure if I'll be needing/wanting my own software at home. I'm hoping that the requirements for animation and video editing would be much the same but I'm honestly not sure.
Portability is the only thing I'm worried about, as far as not liking having a computer rather than a laptop. With the gaming aspect I don't foresee much portability needed but with video editing it might be nice to take with me. Same with the animation if I should ever bring it to class with me.
If you have any recommendations for a computer or laptop I'd greatly appreciate the advice!
