I want to get an M-Audio Midi controller like the Oxygen 49 or something like that. Will the current macbook be good to hand that?
 
Ok just wonering because I know Music composition could be consedered a Pro feature. Just didnt know if I would need the extra power or whatever of the MBP. Also didnt know if they used different sound cards or sound processors or whatever. Thanks
 
Macbooks of all flavors are the weapon of choice for a lot of the live-performance guys using Ableton Live. You can run any "pro" music production software, provided you stuff it with as much ram as you can afford, and a 7200rpm drive if you're going to be doing a lot of audio work. I personally use the stock 5400rpm drive in my MBP, as I do 90% of my stuff with midi and realtime synthesis.
