Hi,


I also bought a Mac book Pro for some music making. Just from a quick google search, it says that most DJ applications work better with a faster processor and that 8GB of ram is suggested. That being said, I myself bought the base edition first. Then after about a week of use, I noticed only having 2 lightning ports had me choosing whether to charge or be able to use a usb dongle.


I'd highly recommend the 10th gen i5 and 16gb model.

Not only do you get 4 ports, but the 2 fans and a better cooling design. My thought is, if you're focusing on sound, you don't want those fans whirring up while editing.


just my two cents, good luck with your choice!
