[TheRealAnomalous]

1 TB of RAM and 1 Petabyte of HD space?! That would be beauty.

[greyhoodedbryan]

This was the most helpful video i have ever seen on youtube!

[MrHoiHoi1234567890]

First of all, It's a nice video you've helped me a lot

I have a question: I want to buy a Mac and I saw your video, I was thinking of the mac mini, but I play bass for 8 years. And my question is whether it is possible for the mac mini simple GarageBand to record things. I have all the supplies

for recording, but it's simple bass lines and stuff like that?

Please respond to my question,

sorry for my bad english, I'm from Netherlands

[AsQkcom]

@MrHoiHoi1234567890 Thanks for the nice comment.

Now if you are doing simple music editing you will be fine with the mac mini. But don't forget, you have to buy a monitor too and the cost always ends up being minimal compared to the iMac.

[MrHoiHoi1234567890]

@AsQkcom thank you that responds to me,

But I already have a Full HD LED 21.5-inch monitor for 150 euros in the Netherlands is not all that overpriced.

I would say looking at another Dutch website, I do not know if they export to other countries.

but thanks for responding, I'm going again to the apple store and neighboring indormatie questions, but I'm pretty sure that I want the mac mini!

[G3NTL3S]

for every pause this guy takes i get a dollar. i would have 283742881346 dollars right now

[MsJosh917]

that guy that says go get pc he is dick

[TodaysWordIs]

One question: i dont own a mac and i really want to buy a imac but question is... thats the only thing i need to use the mac? like to be able to use the iMac, do i need to buy the mac pro? or is the iMac is just a plug-in-play?what i mean is that i just need:Apple® - iMac® / Intel® Core™ i5 / 21.5" Display / 4GB Memory / 500GB Hard Drive to be able to use it?

[AsQkcom]

@TodaysWordIs No, You'll need to get softwares too. If you want to use it for video editing you will have to get final cut pro which cost like $250. If you want to do photo editing you'll need photoshop. If you want to write an essay, you'll need Microsoft Word and etc....

[tarzfx]

I am a video editor, should I purchase the MacBook Pro?

I mainly use After Effects and Sony Vegas, I realise you will have to run Boot Camp to get Sony Vegas, but will you respond to me which one would work for a video editor?

Also, I have a PC desktop, but I have heard that Mac's were pretty good for video editing, and I also need a new computer/.

[AsQkcom]

@tarzfx why not get the iMac? More power, more speed and less money.

The Macbook Pro will handle both programs well so you're fine which ever you choose but I'd recomend the iMac.

[tarzfx]

@AsQkcom I COMPLETELY understand your decision, however, I need a portable computer because I am graduating next year, and I really need a portable computer, right now I have a Windows 7 Desktop, this is a very good computer, however, like I said, I need something portable, so, a Macbook Pro I could use for video editing and school work, I will most likely be buying a external hard drive anyways, so memory capacity is least of my worrys.

Thanks for the help./

[PeaceLoveES]

does the mac mini come with iMovie?

[RazorX313X]

@PeaceLoveES Yes! Get the one with the HD6630m! :D

[MadMidgetPro]

I am looking at getting an iMac for video editing in Final Cut pro or adobe Primiere CS5. If I do After effects once in a while will it work well for me? I highly doubt I will use AE everyday. If I had to give an estimate to frequency of AE use I would say 5 days out of the month maximum.

[AsQkcom]

@MadMidgetPro You will be fine with the iMac.

[ConorSloane118]

@AsQkcom I'm torn between the iMac and the Macbook Pro!!! I have a recording studio (not professional) next to my house and I know the Macbook would be more portable but I have nowhere to put it because my desk has mixers and speakers etc. I would be bringing it in from the studio and in to my room all the time would do you think? 

[AsQkcom]

@ConorSloane118 You will be fine with the Macbook Pro. Audio mixing is nothing compared to video editing so you should be fine.

[TechApple24]

Mac mini

[CelebTalkWithDavid]

[Rubix4Life]

[GregMcCahon]

[CelebTalkWithDavid]

[FloProproductions]

You forgot about the MacBook......

[Theredbullrampage]

Why would I want to buy a PC (Plastic Cock)? I'm not gay!!!

[2day345]

Thank you ! helped me much :D

[xIXPowNaGe]

Did anyone else notice he wrote this is for educational *purpeses lol

[blingblang1988]

Nice vid. I just bought a Mac pro with a 21' apple screen for $400 yesterday. The hard drive was missing but I just bought a brand new 1 terabyte HDD today and installed it. WHAT A DEAL!

[coldplayfanatic683]

Can you expand the storage space on an imac, or will you just have to deal with what u get, like on a macbook pro?

[hobocamptheater]

I'm looking for a mac to run final cut express but I want to possibly keep the same computer to and through at least a little bit of college so I need something that can handle final cut studio or can be upgraded to do so. I also don't care if the upgrade must be done by sending in the computer to apple.

I'm thinking macbook pro but I'm scared that when I upgrade to 1080p HD it won't be able to handle it.

so should I go imac or macbook pro?

[AsQkcom]

@hobocamptheater I don't know how many more times I have to say this but ...get the iMac.

again, the iMac is faster, cheapter & better in almost everything against the macbook pro.

the only thing the iMac can't do is to be portable ...for 7 hours:P

[ProAppleTree]

sweet ;)

[jbrooks959]

Do u thing mac mini for me and aim only 14

[jbrooks959]

What best for me I like the machine I thing it prefect for me but I want to edit movies and a little bit of photo and video but all that will not be all the time maybe 2 times a month just for fun but I really want it for is to go on Internet

[Zagica]

I am getting a mac this week. I want to use it for photo editing in Photoshop and Apreture on everyday basis. Is Macbook pro good for that? Also I would like to have portability, so I can transfer photos from my DSLR to my pc as soon as possible and to edit it.

[AsQkcom]

@Zagica the iMac is my recommendation in terms of price and performance. but if you need the portability then the Macbook Pro will be fine. You shouldn't really notice any difference so don't worry.

[thiskidiscool99]

Ok if i get the mac mini does it come with wireless??

[Loubatron]

@thiskidiscool99 Yes

[m420carbine4]

what about editing HD video on a regular basis, should I choose the new mini or an iMac?

[AsQkcom]

@m420carbine4 if you are editing HD video on a regular basis, get the iMac. 

[HammerJohnM]

There are three factors: Need for portability, amount you are willing to spend, and your existing equipment.

If you need portability, then you have to go with one of the laptops. From there, the decision is simple: Get the most expensive one that isn't over your defined budget for the purchase.

If you don't need a portable, have a very good monitor already, and price is an issue, then your choice is the Mini.

Graphics pros need a Pro.

For everyone else, the iMac is your best choice.

[HotScreens]

I'm going with the iMac

Is it fast enough to run after effects?

Because i realy cant pay an mac pro

Thanks!

[AsQkcom]

@HotScreens How often are you planing to use After Effects and what are you doing with it? just to let you know, Mac Pro does take advantage of an 8 core processor.

[HotScreens]

@AsQkcom

Sorry for my late reaction

I think im going to use after effects

once a week and then im going to use effects

like chromakey keying gunshots cloning lightsabers etc

Im also going to do a cursus 3D animation

[AsQkcom]

@HotScreens Yeah, I'd still go with the iMac.

The iMac will handle AE & 3D animation just fine, it's not worth spending the extra 2K just the cut down a few seconds of reder time if you're only using it once a week.

[FrostyGerman]

If i were to replace a pc desktop running windows vista, i would get a mac mini since i have a REALLY nice hp laptop.

[rs1985]

can the new mac mini do HDMI MKV video ?

[AsQkcom]

@rs1985 Don't have any experience with the Mac mini, but seems like a lot of people are having problems with the audio. I'd wait until another update maybe...

[kallummckeetv]

witch one would be better for hardcore gaming imac or mac pro

[AsQkcom]

@kallummckeetv both will work just fine. which ever you get just make sure you get a nice video card installed.

[HammerJohnM]

@kallummckeetv The Mac Pro will be "better" but the lowest-end Mac Pro will run you a thousand dollars more than the highest-end iMac. If you are a sponsored professional gamer who can justify a maxed-out Pro rig, or money is just no object because you're filthy rich, then go ahead and spend the $7,000 or more (which doesn't even include the cost of a monitor) on a tricked-out Pro. Otherwise, you'll be fine with an iMac, which won't cost you more than $2,700 even if you max it out.

[kallummckeetv]

are i macs upgradeable because i need someting to game on

[AsQkcom]

@kallummckeetv Yes, iMacs are upgradeable. Just make sure you read the manual first, because it's not as easy to upgrade compared to the Mac Pro.

[stopthepolicestate]

Nicely done video and it was fun to watch..

[AsQkcom]

@stopthepolicestate Thanks

[AsQkcom]

@SKshorts only get the Macbook Pro if you need the portability. otherwise stick with the iMac. you get more power for less money
