I want to buy a macbook pro, shot a documentary in HDV and need hardware/software to edit with (i'll bundle FCE). I started looking a month ago and read these rumblings of a new release, so I waited. Now that the new MBP is out, could you give me your opinion on a couple of questions?
-How big a difference will I see with 2.5 vs 2.6 processor? "Only" another $250 sounds relatively cheap, but not in the context of already forking out $3300+...
-Should I go with the 7200rpm 200GB drive for best performance with HDV?
-Stay away from the glossy screen?
-What does the "high-res" screen get me? I shot my stuff in 1080i, but do have an extra 19" lcd monitor.
-I'll bump up RAM myself if I find it necessary later.
Thanks for any advice/input you can provide!
