> Of course, today the mac book pro alone may set you back $5K+! I run Ableton Live 9 and Logic Pro along with all of my normal software instruments and effects on a 2009 Macbook Pro that was given to me for free. Upgraded to an SSD and 8GB of RAM and it runs nearly just as well as on my 2013 Macbook Pro - which I would use but the keyboard has started to go out. My point is you could just buy a used MacBook or a lower end MacBook for far, far less than 5k. On the flip side of that I have a synthesizer that has increased in value five fold since I bought it in 2007.
