Windows 8 is to windows 7 as Windows vista is to windows XP.I would stay away from 8 and go with 7. The only thing I would disagree with bryon is that OSX has more user friendly video editing SW, as OSX is designed for people who are computer retarded. Saying Windows 8 is as bad as Vista is stupid. Saying Windows 8 is bad because of the stupid metro GUI is silly. Install start8 or classic shell and your good to go. Macs are for computer retarded people though.
*You're Posted from my MacBook Air too BTW, I'm a successful ICT tech and have a lot of experience with large-scale networking, telephony and automation. So I'm hardly computer retarded.
Both Mac and Windows have entry level and mid weight solutions now for video editing. IMovie on the Mac is a wonderful tool but it has limitations and Windows Movie Maker is a free entry level package for PC, again it has its limitations. Adding the Adobe image and video editing software brings it to $3661. The HP Compaq 8710w came standard with a three-year HP extended warranty. A similar warranty from Apple costs an extra $349.

MacBooks are the best laptops on the planet, hardware and software wise. Sorry if you can't deal with that.

I find humour in people such as yourself, lukey1990, I really do. You correct me by saying 'your' is actually 'you're' and then you proceed to butcher the English language with your terrible grammar. We are on an internet forum were being very formal in writing is unnecessary. Correcting such a mistake to make yourself look or feel superior, which it appears to be, then proceeding to write in an informal fashion is quite an ironic presentation you've made. This is the internet where people can write poorly like you have, ignore errors, or spell differently on purpose. Honestly, I couldn't care how I spell on the Internet, I am not going to write all the time as if I am writing another 300 page paper.

Lukey1990, most consumers who use an Apple computer are computer illiterate, and they want something unanimously simple despite the great cost they have to endure for that simpleness. You or I can easily use a Mac, Linux, or Windows PC, but not everyone can handle that like we can. People need to learn how to adapt(not want everything over simplified) and use technology because the world is gradually evolving into a technological beast, so to speak. You need to consider that on a hardware level that a Dell laptop or an Apple laptop are not much different. On a software level things are quite different for these two computers. I don't want to start a Windows PC vs Apple PC debate, but your comment about mac-books being the best laptops on the planet 'hardware-wise' is a sad statement, and not true.
The following statement just screams(I hate using this word/s too) fan-boy. 'MacBooks are the best laptops on the planet, hardware and software wise.
