I am also using the Avid I/O. I actually really like it a lot, and as soon as I made the switch, I could here the difference (specifically in the lower frequencies). I actually don't have an issue with it not doing iTunes and Skype like timmymac. For my standard computer audio I use a Presonus Firestudio. As such, once I go to record or mix, I switch completely over to the IO, which is nice because all the computer noises (notifications and such) go away (alowing me to stay focused, as long as I can remember to turn my phone off! hahahahah).
In contrast to the Avid IO, I often use a laptop and a $40 interface to capture ideas. Saw a sale for an Art 2 channel USB duel Pre, and I have to say it works pretty well!
