I have to disagree since it is a matter of what you wish to do with the machine.

What I mean by that is that you can buy Macs that are high powered and are more 
than capable for audio and video editing.

However, if you decide to buy a budget machine, then that is what you get, an 
under powered machine.

Equally, on the question of price, I have seem Windows boxes that are 
overpriced for what they are.

Regards.
