In CPU terms they are comparable which is astonishing for what I do it's the fact my 16" has 64GB of RAM vs 8 in the air which makes the difference. I own a 2019 16" i9 machine and a base model M1 MacBook Air. If not then and all the plugins you use are Apple Silicon compatible I'd consider saving up an M1 MacBook Air or Pro. If you need the larger screen I'd be looking for a 2015 or 2017 machine and accept that it will only last you two years. I would expect the version of macOS due in October 2022 to drop the 2015 machines. Knowing how Logic Pro uses CPU Cores I would take the single core performance into more consideration).īelieve me i need Help, Im not looking for confirmation bias LOL, I actually hate changing computer, just lazy for that, in this case its just easy, my cousin wants to buy my computer and I can buy my friends same day, all done, quick n easy but I guess its better to wait and look for a late 2015 or even 2017 or similar, Im not in a rush so if you guys could tell me which year/model you guys would be looking for if you were in my shoes, cheers.So looking at it macOS 12.x dropped support for the 2014 MacBook Pro so a 2014 model now is not a good investment as you'd probably only get to September 2023 before it will not run a version of macOS which is in security support. Just have realistic expectations of what the performance increase is gonna be (I looked at Geek Bench for what I think your current MBP is and the friend's MBP, it's a marginal bump for single core performance and an 'okay' bump for multi-core performance. If this is the case and you got money to burn, then buy it. I get this is visual vs audio, but try producing music when your entire screen is moving in slow, laggy, motion and tell me it doesn’t matter lol.Īll that said, again since I get the feeling you're fishing for confirmation to what you want to hear which tbh I've done in the past, so I know that basically means you want to buy it lol.

In the case of Logic Pro’s ChromaVerb the visualization options won’t be available if your Mac doesn’t meet the graphic requirements. Also, does the 2014 MBP have a dedicated graphics card? Graphic performance matters now days even for audio production, unless you want laggy graphics whenever you open certain graphic intensive plugins.If you’re not maxing out the 8GBs your current system has adding more isn’t going to do much. On the aspect of RAM, throwing more into a system isn’t the magic healing spell some think it is.And make sure you're looking at the right machines because I don't see a 15" 2012 MBP with a 2.5GHz i5 processor. Look at some Geek Bench benchmarks or the like to get a realistic performance comparison. You can’t look at the spec numbers and say “4 is twice as big as 2, therefore twice as powerful!”, that’s not how computer hardware works.Is it technically more powerful? yeah, because it's "newer", but it's not gonna knock your socks off bc fact is you're still "upgrading" to an 8 year old machine. It honestly sounds like you want someone to tell you what you want to hear, given you are word-for-word asking for confirmation this MBP is "way more powerful" in your replies.Try it out first, last thing you want is to buy it, find out it's not what you expected or worse has something wrong with it, then your friend needs the money you gave them or something.I would personally save my money unless you’re unable to work on your current machine. You’ll see some performance increase but from experience it’s not going to be a night-and-day difference, and definitely not “double the power” in real-world usage.
