Hi everyone.
My refurbished 2.8ghz i7 (ATI Radeon HD 4850) completely died after 3 months and apple can't fix it, so apple offered to replace it with the newer 2.8ghz i5 (ATI Radeon HD 5750)- not the i7!!
I am running Logic Pro in some high demanding ways, running many multitrack recordings and lots of plug-ins, processors, and need to keep the latency down by running at as low buffer size (32 or 64) in music recording studio situations. Latency is my biggest concern in the studio.
I am worried that the i7 to i5 is a downgrade. And if so is it enough to demand they replace it with another i7? The problem is the new i7 does not come as a 2.8ghz (only a 2.93 ghz) and is much more expensive and apple considers the new i5 equivalent to the old i7.
Should I be concerned and demand a i7?
Many thanks for your opinions!
