Just wondering if I could get some advice as I am due for a new portable computer.

I am a teacher and mainly use the computer for record keeping using excel/word and do a little video editing of footage taken during school events on a jvc video camera.

We are going away and was thinking of packing it with movies/music to keep usentertained on the trip.

Features I am looking for are:
portability
battery life (looking for 6+ hours)
compatability with windows software as education department is contracted to it
the ability to do some video/photo editing

I am pretty good with computers but have had limited experience wth Mac.

Suggestions, reviews, etc welcome.

Toni
