[ILUG] Recommendation

[Brian O'Mahony]

A friend of mine is in the market for buying a new laptop and she wants it mainly for video editing. He is contemplating a macbook, and asked my opinion on them and I in no uncertain terms told her how much I hate them and suggested using linux with something like avidemux etc, and also told her that I would have to terminate our friendship if she purchased an Apple.

Now she wants more information and may be a possible convert. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should recommend to her? Preferably a machine with linux preinstalled (probably ubuntu?) and software. Anyone here use it for video editing and so on?

Just looking for some information I can throw her way.

Thx
