So, i am in the verge of buying a Macbook as i dont have any portable computer for work, and i was thinking to buy a Macbook Air 2015 used, so i can save some money while keep having my tracks/projects ready on the fly while traveling or having some free time at work.
The specifications of the Macbook Air i am considering to buy are:
-i5 1.6Ghz
- 128GB SSD
- 8GB Ram
- Intel HD 6000
I know the 128GB are quite low, i was thinking buy an external storage device and keep samples/projects/libraries there to save space. I have very little experience as a mac user so my big question is, how much can this macbook live to my expectations. I mean if i am using like 12 tracks of heavy vst (like kontakt,omnisphere etc) will i start having hiccups ? In an average estimate or by someones experience, how easily this mac can reach its limits while running an ableton project ? (I know about freezing tracks option, i would like to understand the limits before i start getting into freezing)
