Hi, everyone! I'm a 20-year-old guy, and I'm from the Netherlands. I make a living waiting tables and writing about technology. I'm currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in journalism.
I've always been a Windows/Android user. I've owned and loved a 32GB iPod Touch 4g, but that's about it.
Currently, I'm using a $400, two-year-old Windows laptop for the majority of my work, which includes a TON of writing, photo editing in Adobe Lightroom, as well as video editing. It goes without saying that an upgrade is completely justified.
I never really considered Apple computers as a viable option, but when I saw how well FCPX works even on lower end MacBooks, I was sold. I never knew Mac OS was so well-optimized. Now I'm looking into getting an iMac, but I'm having some trouble picking out the model that best suits me. I don't want to spend a ton of money on one and end up regretting it, so I decided to join these forums for help. I'll make a separate thread about that soon.
I hope to see you all around!
