Hi,
I'm a french electronic music tutor and i have to renew my computer. My late 2011 13" macbook pro (2,4 Ghz Duo-core I5/10 go ram/1 To SSD) can't bare my actual projects.
I use Ableton Live for my music production, live shows and courses, i'll also have to edit teaching videos.
I'll need to use an external monitor for my courses.
So, i was planning for the Macbook Pro 16" (2,3 Ghz I9/32Go/1To) but the price, issues i've read about fan noise made me wait for the new 13".
Now it's out, i'm not convinced about it as the top specs reaches the 16" price.
- Music producers with the 16", are you happy with it ? Is the fan noise is really a problem to work with when you make music ?
- About the issue when you connect an external monitor, is it systematic, or does it depend on the type of monitor ?
- Is the I7 model would be cooler than the I9
- Is the 16" would be easy to carry out everyday for my courses and live shows ?
So, maybe someone had to make this choice, what do you think ?
Thanx a lot !
