I've got a Mac Mini here (maximum spec'd available in 2011) with Logic on it and not sure what to do with it. There are some things I love, I can indiscriminately plug in my Novation KB and Logic just picks it up any time. If I do that on the PC I have to make sure the KB is plugged in before I load the DAW. If I take a best of breed softsynth like Zebra and load a MIDI file into a DAW on the Mac and a DAW on the PC and ultimately output to MP3, naturally they will sound identical, so I'm not sure how much everything in between matters.
Apple is making all their money with phones and tablets and I have very little confidence in the Mac at this point. After seeing what they did with Final Cut, I have zero faith in Apple to keep Logic going forward. I've also got a couple of PCs, one sitting idle that topples the overall processing power of the Mac I have, and at the time I bought it it toppled anything available from Apple at any price point (despite costing much less). Havent kept up to see how that's changed.
Overall based on what I've seen over the last several years, I think I just need to learn Cubase on PC for my particular needs.
