Logic Pro System Set-Up Laptop.
Hi,
I was just wondering whether there was anyone out there who knows about Logic Pro, and music production. I would like to buy a MBP, but I do not know the adequate amount of Ram I need to get it running, should I get the stock base-line level of ram, and then buy some other cheaper stuff? I really don know!! Also is there a way of getting my school's coy to run on my laptop, under the same version $999 is a bit steep for me! I would rather pay extra money for a system the WORKS the whole time, and works really well. I hope that someone can help!
Many Thanks.

a macbook pro should be a proper machine for working with logic btw.,
i have used a 1.33ghz G4 powerbook for a long time, until i got a new quad a couple of months ago, and i got along pretty well actually (not without track-freezing, but nevertheless).

the educational pricing on Logic Pro 7 is $499... that should help a bit.

Apple's hardware insurance. it's worth buying especially for a portable computer. you get one free year when you buy the machine, but buying the Applecare adds two or three years, i can't remember exactly, to the insurance. you don't have to decide when you make the purchase, you have up to one year after the purchase date to decide if you want to extend your insurance.
there is also Logic Express which will save you money, and you can upgrade to Pro later on.
processor speed... the more the better. but you should be able to do quite a bit with 1.83GHz x2, the slowest configuration. anyway, more CPU = more effects/audio instruments, but the difference between 1.83 and 2.0 doesn't seem like much. 1.83 to 2.1 seems like a bit more of a difference though. if you're new to audio production, i'd say 1.83GHz would be fine.
i would have a minimum of 1GB of RAM in that machine, and if i could afford it, i'd get 2GB from somewhere like Crucial.
happy purchasing,
