People buy apple for the brand, if you really want to have ease when working with music and graphic design and you are ready to spend money you just buy yourself a super spexy PC.
That hasn't been true since Apple migrated to the Intel x86 (and now x64) architecture. The software manufacturers make the same product for PC and PCs are cheaper for the same quality. People use Apple because they love the brand or the UI, not because of any modern software or hardware advantages.
