I can’t afford a brand new Apple laptop so I want to buy a used one. But I’ve never owned one before and I want to use it for graphic design and video/music editing for school. So could somebody please help me out with what are the essential components I’ll need to do this. IE: Amount of Ram, processor speed, video card etc. Again, I don’t need the best of the best. Just a starter Apple. Used, refurbished anything like that. I Can’t spend over 1k and would prefer to get by with something half of ,000. But don’t know if thats even possible. But I don’t need the best. Just something that gets me by. And besides ebay, where would be a good place to look. Also, what programs/software are a must for graphic design/video editing and sound editing.
I WANT AN APPLE. You’re not going to dissuade me from getting an Apple. I want an Apple, I’m getting an Apple. So please, help me figure out what I need IN an Apple that best fits my needs.

I’m buying a laptop now. I’m not sure if i should go with a Mac or a standard notebooks. I like the Mac video editing features and the photobooth stuff and how it is not as prone to viruses as other laptops. I need one with a lot of memory, the standard applications like a writing application etc., and something that I can download applications easily on. But are Macs really hard to use? Are applications more geared towards PCs than Macs?
thanks in advance.
