Curious how the new macbooks (http://www.apple.com/macbook/) hold up to Ableton.
I imagine it'll be pretty limited, but wondering how far you can push it.
Anyone testing performance on new Macbook (not pro) Retina's

These benchmarks give a good sense for what performance might be like: http://browser.primatelabs.com/mac-benchmarks
The standard 1.1 GHz model is roughly comparable to an 11-inch Air from 2012, or a 13-inch Macbook Pro from 2011.
Those computers were most definitely capable of running Live smoothly...but if you think you'll need some decent CPU muscle, the new Macbook isn't for you. (Not to mention the annoyance of having one USB port).
Still - I'm also interested in seeing some hands-on reports.
