In my opinion, no. It's a waste of money if that's all you're going to do. Unless you're going into graphical design and anything that's basically media creating and editing, you may aswell get a cheap laptop or PC and do all the coding in that :/ Skype and MSN will work fine on any PC, unless you somehow manage to buy a PC with terrible specifications, and I mean TERRIBLE specifications

Do you really need that much power for that? I guess if you get a reasonably powerful Mac, you'll find new ways of testing it's power and will expand into utilizing it in different ways. So buy that Mac if you want it, not everyone stays with their original ideas of MSN, Skype and Coding You may go into digital media of creating music and intense graphics

Any one else here got a Mac and what do they think of it?

Yeah I have one and I would say it was probably the best purchase I have made. My MacBook is rarely off and its running super-fast

I would say if you can, get an iMac or seriously consider a MBP (There should be a revamp of the MBP in October)
