I’d always thought that Apple products were overpriced and could never be worth the extra hundreds of dollars over the windows alternatives. I tried and failed with a few windows laptops when I first started out making music at home, I had issues with latency and they never really lasted many years before problems started to appear. I will admit, I am a little bit biased on this one. At least 256GB of internal storage (HDD or SSD).If you want the in-depth details into why these are the minimum specs I think you should look for when buying a laptop for music production then check out this detailed article I wrote.


Trust me, it took me buying about 3 cheap laptops and a lot of frustration to finally realize this.īelow are my current recommendations for a few different categories, I will update this list reguarly so keep checking back for the latest advice. So it may seem crazy spending over $1000 at first, but if it will last you a long time and you are serious about making music that sounds great then it is worth it. So with that in mind it is worth dedicating a hefty chunk of your studio setup budget. For most musicians recording music at home now, the laptop (or computer) will be the most important part of the studio.
