Pc User Thinking Of Switching Sides... Options

[japanarian]

I'm curious to know why you guys and gals prefer Mac over PC.

A little background on the guy asking:

my setup
Home: Intel Pentium 4/1.8Gig, Creative SB Audigy
Road: Intel Pentium M(Centrino)
WinXP Home
Cubase VST/(VST and DirectX plug-ins)
WaveLab 3.0

Pretty lean right now, but I'm slowly building my setup. Most of what I do is sequenced, but I would like to someday build a home studio and have guests either sing or play on my tracks. I sometimes spend a lot of time on the road for work(the day-job) and I like being able to work on my music in the hotel room(can I get away with a PowerBook in a home studio setup too?)

Any suggestions are appreciated.

i have logic pro 7 and it is incredible in most areas - BUT you should be careful if you use cubase to do a lot of audio editing as logics audio editing functions are way behind most current mainstream sequencers (not changed since when i first got logic at version 4)

i'm considering getting cubase SE and using it alongside logic through rewire ... in fact does anyone know if this will work? i've not used rewire before and some people seem to think (or assume) that you can only use it when reason is involved.....but never know for sure - is this true?

the bundled logic pluggins form the best bundle package i've ever come across in terms of quality and quantity- no other sequencer compares - and midi editing is also better than most, but don't expect the kind of editing ease and freedom you get with cubase or protools when dealing with audio.
