    make sure your comfortable with one before you make the switch and make sure all software and programs you'll need will work on a mac. A lot of things don't.

    There a lot more expensive, and software is harder to come by, I use one but not as my main computer it's more for photoshop etc.

    I'd say if you need it and can afford it Yay, if your thinking of buying cause apple is a cool brand right now i'd say Nay.

    There expensive especially when you factor in the software, maybe ask over in the dj or music thread about using a mac versus windows for music you might get a better idea. If they tosh is still working i'd keep it just in case someday you need windows, which you will;)
