for music there is nothing better - I dont do any - but just go into any major production studio or watch any of the pros on the road - they all use mac notebooks

regarding lagging - I also have a 24" IMac - with 3gigs of memory - and my main 15" MacBook Pro - with 2 gigs of memory keeps up very very well.. never a problem - I only keep about 50 windows open at a time

once you get into mac you'll never regret it
