So maybe I've been living under a rock but last I checked Video editing, and to a lesser extent photo editing, requires high end parts (at least i5 CPU, high end GPU, tons of RAM), but I've been told by my friend who's a film major in college that everyone suggests he gets a Macbook. Why would you buy a Macbook for this sort of stuff, I mean they don't even come with dedicated graphics cards.
 
Several reasons:
- Portability which is important if he has to do group projects.
- Several video editing software are slightly better optimized for MACOSX
- Familiarity as future workplaces Or the college's computers may be all Mac based.
- Fits the middle ground between the Mac Mini and the Mac Pro.
- The old "Macs are better for media work" line of thought is still prevalent.
