Most likely you'll have to buy the FCP program separate from the computer. Only a special NLE system from a video company (VideoGuys, for example) would have it pre-loaded. It would basically be the prices added together, you never get discounts or sales on Apple hardware/software.

FCP imports DV, Quicktime, few others. Not MPEG. See program documentation at Apple site for more details.

i thought you were to broke for anything. Macs are freakin expensive especially good ones. Need a MBP if laptop and a fast mac pro to run final cut 7 to run FCP right.
