Hello, I currently own a 2006 MBP, first gen, core duo 2.16, 2Gb Ram, upgraded to SL. I use it only for music, I record through firewire on Apogee Duet with Logic pro, and also Reason. So far Ok but with the latest plug-ins (Melodyn, Predator, heavy Combi in Reason, etc...) the CPU becomes quickly overladed and I have to bounce my track in order to free the CPU, but then the creation process becomes very slow and painfull. I wonder if a MacMini, in its latest version, would perform much better than my current MBP, with its core 2 duo and the possibility to reach 4GB RAM ? I cannot afford a MacPro and the Imac is also a lot of money because I dont care about graphic performance, only music, what do you think for this particular task ? Thanks for your comments.
