GM,
What’s a good laptop widows - mac for music production? at the moment I’m using iPad but it’s very limited. I have it hooked up to Volt 276 audio interface and it ok . But even to get updates for volt I need to take I’ve to a friends to get those updates.
 
In honesty, very few latest laptops of any kind will not be fine. All now have pretty decent processors and with plenty of ram you are away. Most people end up with lots of externals hanging on. Drives with big capacity are vital when your samples, vsts and other stuff takes up huge space. On both my systems, with 8TB of external storage, I am starting to get messages about space. Some laptops have few sockets, like macbooks. Making adaptors and other gizmos very important. Few people have nevr had a crash when a plug falls out. I have those gadgets on my macbooks that use up both sockets and give you loads more in out, but using gaffer tape to stop them falling out is less than elegant. Ipads are fine, but prevent you running so much decent software. Extra screens are also very useful, if you have enough sockets. I suspect we can forget the old windows crashes macs dont rubbish now. My windows 11 system is actually ahead of the mac a little I think. Certainly no longer a ‘thing’.

Sockets
Ram
Decent size screen for what you do
Weight
Heat
Fan noise

That is kind of what I look for.
