    Definitely go with any of the macbook pro series. I prefer the 15" screen just simply bc you have a larger workspace and its easier to see. Any of the new intel I5 chips work amazing and you want 4GB of ram as well. You'll have no problem recording with logic or PT in a rather large session.

  • I would go with the Mac Book pro 15" because the screen size is good if you are working with music and Garage band. It also has the I5 processor and 4GB of ram. The MBP also works well with any microphones I would recommend the yeti because the sound is good and uses blue tooth.

  • Macbook pro 15" with an i7 chip at 2.6ghz or higher (otherwise you may have issues using mutiple effects and vst's.. Depending on how you work with audio it would be worth having the maximum ram you can install, an example of what I mean would be: If you bounce and lot of audio down from vst's so you can manipulate the actual WAV sound you will find you eat up ram very fast. if you are just rendering using the vst, synths in there normal form with out bouncing you wont need so much, depends on your style.
