Mac With Logic?

Ok since my laptop broke down the other day (oldish anyway),
I've been thinking of investing in a mac and possibly logic pro.
Stuck in two minds over it, really need a deciding factor in this argument in my head lol.
Pro's and con's of a mac with logic please.
Much appreciated in advance.

+Mac's don't crash or get viruses
+Logic kicks ass

-It's expensive

I think that sums it up pretty well.

What specs would i be looking for realistically without having cpu issues?

I run logic on a macbook with a 2.4ghz core 2 duo and 2gb just fine. I can get about 20 vst tracks out of it at a push.

I think i'll be going for a 2gb then, the preset synths are logic are good as they are aren't they so i won't be needing any vst's in a rush will i?

No you can make great tunes right out of the box with logic, great effects too.

Macs can get viruses/malware although its very rare and Macs have and can crash, such an example is the kernal panic which can happen on OSX.

This never happens, this guy is just trolling.

I get about 1 Kernal panic a week, but its due to me rigging like 3 external HD's together via firewire also using an 800 to 400 adapter.

can't recommend logic enough, all the effects and synths bundled with it are incredible

and as for a mac, well... you definitely won't be returning to windows in a hurry

lol, yeh they do crash, seem's to be a whole lot less than p.c's though and a bit more sporadic

I've got a pp5 quad with 4 gb of ram running logic 9, couldn't be happier tbh,

On some tunes I've been running up to 30/40 synth's/au (audio units, logic doesn't run vst without some form of wrapping program)

and even then it could keep going, then again you could always get a lower specced mac and invest in some uad cards if you really wanna take the piss with effects
