Hi everyone,
I'm a complete beginner in music composition / recording / production, and am about to get a macbook pro or an imac - my old macbook is on its way out as the results of leaving it in the lounge with cats! Whilst I'm a beginner I work in transmission so do long shifts and get a lot of time off to practice so looking for something that will handle Pro Tools / Cubase / Nuendo in the future.
I've seen this question asked a lot on the internet, however all of the posts i saw were well over a year ago - i wanted to know what everyone thought now. I've had a laptop all my life, so at first i thought about going with that, but the imac seems to have better specs. Main specs im thinking about are 8GB ram and I7, at least 2.5GHz.
Im buying it on finance so i dont mind paying more for the laptop, but from what i gathered it sounded like even the higher end laptops have worse specs than the mid range imacs??
Unfortunately there is no way I can afford a macbook pro with separate monitor before anyone suggests that option!
Cheers,
Alan.
