Apple leads the way when it comes to computers preconfigured for movie making -- all the current Macs come with the wonderful iMovie2 video editing software, which is a joy to use even for beginners. The higher-end Macs like the flagship iMac and G4 towers come with DVD-R 'Superdrives' that let you burn the movies you created with iMovie2 and iDVD2 onto DVD recordable blank discs. Apple Superdrive iMacs start in price at $1699.
On the Windows PC side, HP, Gateway, and Sony all sell complete PC systems expressly configured for movie editing and DVD creation. All the necessary hardware and software is already installed, making it a snap to hook up your camcorder and begin making DVDs right away.
