    Screen recording different resolution?

    I am trying to do a screen recording of my 13" 2018 Macbook. I know the screen resolution is 2560 x 1600. But when I try to select only a portion of the screen to record I get a number of 1440 x 900. How does that work? Can someone explain? Thanks

    what's a good macbook for music production?

    I'm thinking of getting the new macbook pro 2019 with 1.4ghz clockspeed because it's cheaper than the rest. I will only use it for music production -- logic pro x, and A LOT of vsts & plugins. will this be a good choice? or the 2.4ghz will be worth the additional costs?
