I haven't used one of the newest ones, but I'm definitely not a big fan of Celeron processors. I don't know what it is, but I can always tell when I sit down at a machine with one, because the things you don't care about are reasonably quick, but anything productive seems to take painfully long. Your video authoring will be especially painful.

You shouldn't see any noticeable difference between a Celeron and a Pentium (or whatever they're calling it these days) in general operations since the main difference is that it has less cache. Doing large amounts of number crunching e.g. video processing will see a difference because it is just grinding away and the more cache you have, the better. If you're not doing any like that or if you're not going to be doing much then you might as well get a Celeron and save the money.
