[QUOTE="Pojoty, post: 825812, member: 94526"] Hello, I recently purchased Logic Studio, and am getting ready to install it onto my ~2006 Macbook. I know it has the minimum requirements, but I figure I'll be in the market for a new computer in the next six months or so, depending on what deals come by. I'm a music student and my professors highly recommended that I become familiar with professional grade software. Now I know an iMac would suit me more than fine... but I'll be going on tour and my life will need to be quite mobile. Would a modern Macbook Pro be worth the investment? I know it's not as much for the money but I'm worried I'd never be in a room for long enough to use a desktop. Do any of you have mobile solutions? I'm trying to learn about how to, say, upgrade RAM in a macbook (or macbook pro.) I can either buy a new battery, upgrade my RAM from 1gb (still researching if this is possible on an older macbook black) to 2gb, or save my money for a new setup entirely (perhaps an iMac if I can stay put, but probably a macbook.) What are some good options? Thanks guys! And I'm glad your iMac is working out well. Who knows? Maybe I'll upgrade my old macbook black's RAM and buy a decent iMac for home, that might turn out cheaper than an entirely new macbook pro. EDIT: Forgot to mention. I was messing around and found a relatively cheap PowerMac G5 with 4gb of RAM and a 200gb hard drive for roughly $600. Only problem is (it's old) and it only has a 1.8ghz processor. Will this power Logic sufficiently? Perhaps a bad thought and I should really consider a new iMac if I was going desktop (this also doesn't include a screen, mouse, keyboard, etc...) [/QUOTE]
