Ableton Suite 8/Macbook 1.83GHz Vs. 2.0GHz
Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2011 7:38 am
Hi I'm in the market for an older Macbook on ebay. It's main and almost sole purpose would be to run Ableton Suite 8, controlling it with a Novation Launchpad. I found some seller refurbished Macbooks with 13.3" screens, 4GB of RAM, Intel Core 2 duo 1.83GHz processors, 750 GB of hard drive space for $479 on ebay. Niceee. On the other hand there are "lightly used" completely original apple parts (non-refurbished) MacBooks with 13" screens, 4GB of RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, and 500GB of hard drive space for $700.
Should I save myself a good bit of cash and just forget the extra .17 GHz of processor speed? Or is that extra edge worth it? I'd feel a lot better about getting myself that Launchpad as well. I want Ableton to work flawlessly with no delay or hesitation, with plenty of clips, effects, plug-ins and all that.
Cheers
