[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1204779, member: 184879"] no one covering audio production? okay ill step in. for Audio, CPU and RAM are massively important. your CPU will indicate how much DSP you can run (virtual instruments and FX plug ins) and the RAM will indicate how many you can have aswell. an i5 or 7 processor will be brilliant for audio production and all the MBP range are capable of being upped to 8GB of RAM (if you ever need that much, most people can run DAWs fine with 3-4GB.) Macs are capable of running Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase, Reason, Recycle, and Ableton live natively through OSX, and FL Studio, Sonar & others by using Windows through boot camp, or through any of the virtualisation programs. the bottom end 13" pros aren't gonna be great for gaming. Dont get me wrong, it will run, but you wont get any of the brilliant anti aliasing or textures that come with newer games; youll have to run at fairly low settings due to the graphics chipset (it uses memory shared with the main system memory for a start.) if you want serious gaming potential, go for a macbook pro with a dedicated graphics card, as MikeM says.
