Do you think all the mbp's are ok for ....

[MatLane]

Music production and Live performance?
Using mixers and ableton

Somebody recently told me the only way to go for that is the older model also the 17' at the top of the range


I was wondering if forking out that extra money will do me good

Choice of matte or glossy, nice look ( love old ones ) choice of fw 400 and 800 and a high res screen


What do you think. Kinda new to buying things at this level so i need a bit of assistance

Thanks guys

If it's mainly for music, you don't necessarily need the high resolution screen so a 15" Macbook Pro would be good enough. The current Macbook Pro or the last generation Macbook Pro would be powerful enough to handle Logic Pro or other recording applications. I have a 15" Macbook Pro from 2006 and it runs Logic Pro with no hiccups.
