Final Cut Studio - New Powerbooks

[tom3097]

Can any one thats got the new 15" or 17" powerbooks say what Final Cut Studio is like on the new systems.

Is it okay?

I use it on a rev d 17er and it is fine, although rendering takes a bit longer.

Thanks,
It also says that a G5 is needed to produce HD DVDs

Yes it is.

there isn't much of a difference between the last revision of the powerbooks. There wasn't even a speed bump, so you'd still be fine.

Add a 7200 rpm hard drive instead of the slower ones, that may improve performance (I BELIEVE it comes standard with the HIGH-end powerbooks)

Also get as much ram as possible.
