While iMovie is vastly superior, one must ask if it is really worth paying double what you'd pay for a comparable PC just to be able to edit home movies with a more friendly program?

As for technology... there's nothing overly exciting coming out in the way of desktops, unless you are into building your own. You can build quite a machine for half of what you'd pay in a store, if you were so inclined. Laptops are starting to look more promising, but for movie editing, most fall tragically short. The latest Powerbooks are sleek and light but don't have the same get up and go as an Area 51-m. I own both (plus a Satellite 3.06ghz) and performance wise, the Area 51-m can't be beat.
