Actually, since I got my first Mac last year, I've been barking up and down about how amazing it is. I told everyone I sold every PC I ever owned because I could do it all on my powerbook. They are all jealous. I had XP for my email, visio and word, *nix for my geek router & perl stuff, another PC for my audio production stuff. All gone. All I have now is a 17" Powerbook. It's all I'll ever need. Well, no -- it's not. When I need something for music, I'll get a G5. Plain and simple, I will never own a PC again.
Of course the Powerbook will do all music stuff as well (unless you need the PCI based add in cards for protools!).
True, it will do all the audio stuff, to a point. It will do well for basic, intermediate and advanced production techniques, however when you start doing pro stuff with lots of filtering and effects, that's when it'll turn ugly and the 1Ghz bus on the G5 with the SATA drives will come in real handy! :)

Got a colleague who swapped hi twin 1GHZ PC for a 17" powerbook to do his video editing side business. Guess wot - the powerbook works much much better than his w2k based system!!
Funny that, eh? :)
