Buy MacBook Pro 14 - https://amzn.to/2ZwhgWt
I compared the MacBook Pro 14 inch 8-core and 10-core M1 Pro models vs the MacBook Air M1 using Ableton Live, my favorite DAW. How do they stack up for music production? CPU performance tests and export speed comparisons yielded some interesting results! Should you get 8 core or 10 core MacBook Pro or stick with the MacBook Air M1? The setups:
MacBook Air M1 (LEFT)
8-core CPU, 8-core GPU
16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
MacBook Pro M1 Pro base model (MIDDLE)
8-core CPU, 14-core GPU
16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
MacBook Pro M1 Pro (RIGHT)
10-core CPU, 16-core GPU
16GB RAM, 512GB SSD
All machines are running Ableton Live 11.0.11 (regular, non-M1 optimized version). I tried beta 11.1 and performance was buggy and not really too different from the non-beta version. The beta also disabled a bunch of my plugins :(
