People. I'm looking for a MacBook Pro / Windows laptop with good performance and I wanted to ask you for your opinion.

The laptop should be 15 inches or less, and it should be good for 2 things.

For multitasking at work
For music editing and recording with Studio One 5 Artist

Accordingly, the good computer MUST have one / or better 2 USB-C ports.

If you are still missing information on how to specify the buying tip, just write briefly.

Do you really want high performance so i7 10gen and ne gtx 2060?

Mi

Where should the price be?

Under 15 "there's almost only 13". And in terms of performance, they are usually much weaker than the 15 "models, as they are built to be very mobile and not necessarily because of performance.

Xi

Sounds good!

Price up to 1500 euro

I would recommend the MacBook Pro M1, it's a MacBook with a very good processor. You have a touch bar, which can be handy for music, and Touch ID too.

Mi

At Apple you can only get one Air. But the really useful ones are just over 1500 euro.

Xi

Do you think 256 or 512GB are sufficient for just music production?

Ta

Apple's value for money is dirt

Xi

Can you recommend a price / performance bomber with Windows? Up to 1.5k

Mi

256GB SSD is a bad joke. You definitely shouldn't buy that these days.

To offer something like this at all is pathetic. But that's the point - sell upgrades.

Pa

What do you mean, the M1 processor performs like an i9, and most Windows laptops with i9s are just as expensive or even more expensive

Ta

Only for work 256GB can always buy ne external hard drive

Ta

The M1 does not have the performance of an I9 …

Pa

So if you have an external SSD then the 512GB is not worth it, if not then already

Ta

In addition, most programs are not developed for the M1

Pa

So it does in laptops

Then I would also recommend an external sound card. For example this: https://www.amazon.de/...08D8R6VFC/ It offers recording quality with up to 24bit and up to 96kHz sampling rate. This is studio quality. The input and output levels can be set directly on the sound card. There's also a full version with license code and download link for Studio one 5 Artist and Studio Magic Suite with Ableton Live Lite.
