Agree with Alex about the Macbook, I've been using the 2.2ghz one with 1gb ram and both Ableton (Lite version unfortunately) and Protools work a treat. I'd suggest upping the ram to 2gb but wouldn't say it was entirely essential. That's if you're going for a laptop. If not, I'd also say go for a Mac Mini. If money is not an issue, get a G4. We use them at uni and they're the shit.

As far as audio interfaces go, I blew a lot of what I earned at Christmas on a Digidesign Mbox2 and haven't had any problems at all with it - Cheers Dan! At £300 it is quite expensive compared to others but the software you get with it (Protools LE, Ableton Lite, Reason Lite, Amplitube LE, bombfactory compressor and tons of others) is all really good too. Logic would be a good idea too, will hopefully be getting that in a few weeks time.
