A Mac is hardly ever 'necessary', but if you want a quality PC (and a 'PC' is what a Mac is these days), it's a good bet.

Mine is 6 years old now, and very rarely turned off, yet keeps going, so incredible VFM IMO.

I work in music industry too, so some packages are easier to get for Mac.

See if your mum qualifies for the education discount, if she does, it's honestly the best deal you'll get on it anywhere, especially at 0%.

Says someone who never worked hard enough to be able to afford one.

I think they are OK computers just worth about half the price they charge. So not for me I am afraid. Plus I like to have control over what I do with my files.

No shame in admitting that you don't know how to operate a Mac.

A Mac has always been a PC, as have all the other non-Windows/Intel (aka Wintel) brands which have existed over the years.

You can get the standard education discount, which is more like 6-8%, or if you know someone who's at university they can buy it for you. Personally I'd just wait until you're at university.
