...primarily for music producing/recording and I was wondering what models would be recommended. I know almost nothing about macs but I have heard from many sources that they are the best for audio/video related applications. So could I get the cheapest macbook and still be able to run Garage Band and similar programs well or should I go more expensive? I am on a budget however, near a $1000 would probably be my limit. Also, is it recommended buying from a retailer like Best Buy or should I go online? Any advice is appreciated.
