Macs are as optimized they can be, when it comes to hardware. What you 
have to do if you buy one, for audio application, is to make sure you 
run it with the appropriate system preference settings.

If you go for a PC you have to make sure you buy one that is put 
together with the best components for audio.

Yes. Everyone I've heard that has bought one loves it. Especially the 
I/O model if they are a musician or the one with four outputs if they 
are a DJ.

All the best
