Good gawds - talk about childish answers. We've obviously got Mac and PC fans that have no real information other than promoting their favorite platform.

The truth is - EITHER. But out of the box I would say a Mac simply because iMovie is far superior to Windows Movie Maker. Although WMM has become a fairly usable program with each consecutive release.

If you plan on using something more powerful than iMovie or WMM - say something in the prosumer category like Adobe Premiere Pro on the PC or Final Cut Pro on the Mac then use the platform of your choice. Bare this in mind - a lower end laptop PC won't cut it - but you won't have to spend the change you'd have to spend on a Mac. A Core2 duo CPU, 2 Gig or RAM or more, a good sized hard drive and a IEEE1394 interface (firewire/iLink) will get you started. Personally I'd stay away from AMD CPUs, but that's your choice. I'd also upgrade from a Vista 32bit OS to the 64bit Ultimate. You can pick up a laptop like that for under $1000 pretty easily.
