both Mainstage and Logic are amazing, and are indeed by far far the best value in the world of music computers.

If it were still available on PC, I would agree.

True.... But most iOS are Apple only too

Well, iOS music apps are pretty much the only game in town, while OSX music apps are not.

Well, beside Logic and all it's goodies like the mighty Alchemy 2

Mainstage is the biggest bang for buck!
Then comes Komplete Ultimate.
Next would be Logic Pro X!
Then iOS apps......

Auria is great and worth the price but it's not even close what a DAW like Logic offers or can do.
The Fabfilter plug-ins are great and cheap but i demoed them on my desktop and i don't need it because Logic FX are just great enough for everything i could imagine. I only bought addional reverbs.
In general it's easy.... You get what you pay for.
For me prices seems to be fair. Small prices for small apps, bigger prices for bigger apps!!

I don't use any 3rd-party plug-ins with Logic, at least ones that cost money. It does what I need, but I know some people who prefer the sound they get from other plug-ins, and often they're not cheap alternatives.

The point here, I think, is comparing desktop and iPad app prices. Using Logic X as the benchmark isn't really fair because almost every app would lose in that head-to-head. It's subjective, but I think if you take Auria Pro and a handful of cool plug-ins like FabFilter offers, the low cost of that power is impressive, even if big Apple messes up the curve with some of their stuff.

Calling Logic a desktop app isn't fair either when it can be run on a laptop that's smaller and cheaper than an iPad pro lol. Now iOS hardware prices are getting higher I'm starting to look at getting a cheap mac laptop instead )

Hmmm, laptops are mobile, come to think of it. I like a tablet, and my old laptop's a bit too bulky. Are there Mac laptops with a touch screen?

If Apple made an iPad version of Logic and gave it away for free, they could really mess it up for iOS DAW developers. They operate on a different plane.

I was kind'a lumping desktop and laptop under the same Windows/OSX hardware category.

I gotcha... My laptop is 40cm x 30cm and weights 4kg. (Its more like a portable workstation, and I like it lol)

Way easier to carry my iPad Mini 2 around
