My personal solution is to stop buying Apple altogether. Unless you need a Mac (i.e., you do Apple specific development), you have a much broader set of choices. If you can wean yourself off Logic (try Live, perhaps) then you can get better hardware at lower prices. Just my opinion.

Out of curiosity, what are you buying? I want to have a better home computer that can run Ableton & software, but I do love the paradigm of OSX + terminal Bash.

Linux is terrible on the desktop and Windows can go die in a fire. Looks like Apple gets my money!

I'm a life long Windows user and fan and I recently bought a Macbook Air and love it. It's so much better than the $1800 windows laptop I've had for the past two years. Granted the windows laptop is for gaming and they're very different devices.
