Re: Why PT?
Any of the Macs on Digi's list of qualified machines will work. Of course if you go above, and beyond the minimum requirements you'll get better performance. How much you really need depends on what you're doing.
Pt is the industry standard simply because they got in the game early, and became established (entrenched? in most pro studios.
Whether or not DAWs sound different is a matter of debate, but it's generally agreed that any difference there is is not enough to make or break a mix.
Workflow is much more important than any minor differences in sound. Whether or not PT fits the way you wish to work is impossible for me to say. I've had limited experience with a few other DAWs on both Mac OS, and Windows. I find that PT on a Mac suits the way I work much better.
