I am currently in first year college and studying music and media, so I will need to use logic, final cut pro, and Microsoft suite programs, I will be using it very often. could someone advise me what the best solution would be and how be much storage and memory I would need also?
thanks :)
It depends.
If you're taking any classes that are concerned with x86 (Intel/AMD) assembly, or rely on any software that is only for Windows, you might want to look at getting an earlier model Mac (without the M1 chip).
Otherwise, I'd strongly recommend looking at the M1 MacBook Air or the M1 MacBook Pro. Both have fantastic battery life and performance, and can run almost all Mac applications. However, they cannot natively run Windows (you'll need a virtual machine or a remote desktop connection for that).
Main differences between the M1 Air and Pro:
Air:
Pro:
I'd suggest you start by asking upperclass students in your department or your professors what they have used and recommend.
go to bare feats.com and explore their various testing. Soon it becomes obvious but confusing. So many other choices.
which mac is best for me? help would be great!
