i just (24 months interest free) got an i mac, the big screen and little keyboard and no tower, i love it and reading this thread has made me love it more. i dont want to use it for maya, i got it for another industry standards, being if one wants a job best know how to use PC and Mac because Final Cut Pro is mac based and it seems flavour if the month around the production companies or at least at uni.
I needed it for ProTools and the M box.., sound/music/postsound.
i have enough computers to spread the load around.
the thought of a computer that can run PC and Mac OS was very appealing also.
but i am becoming a converted Mac user now (just have to learn how to use it), most has already been said that is good about it, the sceen is bigger than my TV.
still this PC is great too.
I used to have to show people how to use final cut pro with an Imac (amongst other things when I worked for them), got the job with no proir experiance of using it, just from AVID, using Macs I didnt really see any difference (other than the Imac that we used seemed to crash quite a bit compared to a PC running Avid, but hey its different software) other than they looked cooler and cost a lot more.
As for the 2 Gb Limit, not too sure about that as I thought PC's (running 32 bit windows) could go to 4GB and then the 64 bit cona go much higher) But they work the same when it comes to how the computer works, especially with the move to intel as they basically are PC's that just run Apple Os.
