you do actually get video editing software with the Mac -iMovie
I'd go for the Mac as its alot faster than the other one's.

But how good is that software compared with Adobe Premier? Then you have to add on the price of a monitor as well. And does it matter that the Mac only has one hard drive?

Surely the PC's are better?
