Computers & HD Camcorders

by ardith

On Father’s Day, my brother and sisters gave my dad a HD camcorder from Sony. Since it also works as a digital camera, it’s really handy. Especially since my youngest sister’s wedding is coming up.

Unfortunately, it looks like our 5 year old Mac is too slow to handle the HD videos. I already knew it was a slow computer (I did buy an early release in 2005….), so we have to upgrade.

Now I’m trying to decide what to do. My parents are barely used to the mac set up. I’m leanding towards a small HP Laptop since I’ve been really happy with this one. 

I think it may be easier since my dad is always pulling shortcuts out of the Apple bar.

My middle sister just ordered the HP Pavilion DV4-1227US 14.1-Inch Laptop – Espresso Black

Since she has been using a mac for the past few years, we’ll have to see how this goes.
