Mac users buy them for audio, photo and video purposes. I know if I get one, it would probably mostly be used for audio purposes, not necessarily ripping my music. Probably the only time it would pass my door would be to record a jam session. Other than that, it most certainly would not go everywhere with me. The MSI Wind is a cheap Netbook I would get to take with me everywhere.
If I get a serious band going, the Mac would contain all our music in its raw, unmixed form. (I’d rather record analog)
iLife is an incredible app that is super easy to use. In the end, Mac users can figure out easily how to utilize more functions.
