I went to the Apple Store recently to check out my options, and I’m still torn. I’m deciding between a cheaper MacBook (Neo, 8GB RAM) and a MacBook Air (16GB RAM).

Here’s my situation:

•	I use my (windows at the moment) laptop every single day (for work no music)

•	Mostly for: browsing, email, Google Chrome, general work

•	Music production: FL Studio with plugins like Nexus and Serum

•	I also want to try Logic Pro, but I probably won’t use it 24/7—more for experimenting

•	I have 2 external monitors I’d like to use

•	My projects are not huge (no 20+ track songs), but I want things to run smoothly

At the Apple Store:

•	One person told me the Neo would be fine, that it can handle my use case

•	Another person said the Neo is risky, might hang or get slow with plugins and multitasking

I’ve looked at forums and there’s a lot of conflicting advice.

What would you do?
