I use FCP6 for my HDV editing on my macbook. I just lower the playback quality to 50% or 25%. With this tiny screen you can't tell the difference so it helps with dropped frames. FCE does about 99% of everything most people need, but although I'm not a powerful editor, I always tend to find some reason I need FCP over FCE. Go figure.
Thanks a lot! I got a macbook and i have 2 weeks to test it out.. I honestly don't think i'll ever use motion or color, so the rest should be good for me. I'm also 99% sure that just FCE is more than enough.
