Solidity, versatility and economy
Article Abstract:
Apple's $2,699 Performa 6400/200 Video Editing Edition includes 32MB of RAM, along with a 2.4GB hard disk drive. Video Editing Edition features 1MB of video RAM and 256KB of Level 2 cache memory. Video Editing also comes with a 28.8-Kbps fax and data modem which can convert the computer into a telephone answering machine. The system is also enhanced by the ability to read data files from DOS and Windows applications with a 3.5-in diskette drive. The prime feature of Video Editing Edition is Avid Cinema, which allows users to edit video with a camcorder. The software uses a notebook and tab format, offering a variety of easy to use storyboarding tools and visual effects. Editing Edition's specifications exceed those of other computers, but their quick consumption of disk space makes them barely sufficient for video production applications.

Bridging two worlds with a single machine
Article Abstract:
Apple's $2,759 Power Macintosh 6100 66 is a useful system that combines the usually separate worlds of Macintoshes and Intel-compatible PCs. The Power Macintosh 6100 66 ships with a PowerPC 601 66 CPU, 16MB of RAM, a 500MB hard disk and Apple's System 7.5 operating system. It also includes another CPU, Intel's 66MHz 80486DX2 chip, as well as Windows 3.1 and DOS 6.22 operating systems. Although the new Apple offering is not the perfect solution for users who want to be able to run Macintosh and Windows or DOS-based software from a single system, it does represent a great leap forward towards system interoperability. One of the drawbacks of the Power Macintosh 6100 66 is that support for Windows drains a large amount of system memory and hard disk space.
