The more I see the Macbook Neo in action RE running DAWs on it, the more I'm like, "That's cool!" But, then again, it would be wasted on me since I'm heavily invested in the ever-evolving iOS ecosystem. 😅 But if I still wanted to produce on a laptop, that Macbook Neo would be my tool of choice since I don't produce many super-involved projects. (Honestly, it blows my mind when people end up with hundreds of tracks of audio and MIDI in one project. 😬 Like...how?!)
I know, a whole track for the equivalent of just a triangle going ‘ting’ at the end.
Come to think of it though, a lot of the projects with very high track counts are probably doing very little for most of the song, just clocking through and outputting no midi or audio, until their special part arrives, such that most tracks would be doing something during chorus and nothing during verse, or vice-versa.
In the old days, with multitimbral midi modules, there’d be fewer tracks but a lot more patch switching within each track.
Exactly! I think the most tracks I used in a project was still under 25 tracks. I cut my teeth producing music on computers in the early 2000s when projects needed to be more condensed, limited to 16 MIDI tracks, etc. So I definitely have a more "old school" approach to using a DAW. 😅
Should be great for Loopy Pro Mac ... right? When/if... ;-)
Watched a few Neo vids, and it is very impressive speed-wise. I think though, when my work Intel MBP gives up I'll replace it with an Air 15". The 8GB/13" only option for the Neo is a compromise too far.
For anyone making music on a budget though, the Neo is a good medium-term choice.
[edit] just watched someone running Ableton on a Neo, and it struggled a bit.
Yah. If I'm not going to be on the iPad, I don't want anything less than a 15" screen, and if I'm gonna be using a laptop I don't really want to be bothered with an external monitor. I sure as heck don't want to pay the premium for a MacBook Pro for my relatively light needs. The Air seems to be the sweet spot for me.
I’m using an Intel 16” MBP for work. It’s a bit unwieldy for laptop use, and I find the extra screen space mostly goes unused. An Air 15” will be a perfect replacement, size and feature wise for when the ageing Intel packs up.
Saying that, just over a year ago I treated myself to a 14” MBP M4 Pro, just for music stuff. I was a bit worried about the smaller screen, but it hasn’t been an issue - probably down to the hi-res quality screen. I really like the smaller form-factor, but a 13” Neo or Air would be a step too far.
I’ve got that same Intel MBP16, i9, and although it’s a hovercraft one can fry eggs on, it’s currently my ‘main’ computer. But I also have a base-level MacBook Air M2 8/256, and that, although a lot smaller screen size, isn’t too cramped (however, the text is smaller and harder to read).
Last week I took the back off the i9 MBP and brushed the dust out again (I have to do this every year), and I refuse to update it to the latest macOS. When it becomes unsupported I’ll put a Linux on (there’s a lot of impediments on this particular model making it not straightforward to do that, and in any case it’s best to dual boot even if the macOS side will never be used).
I'm on the i7 version - don't notice that much heat (I wouldn't mind actually, it's freezing here at the moment), but I don't push it that much, the heaviest use would be Affinity stuff. It's still on Monterey - I want to update the OS but put off by horror stories of performance issues. It's usable for general day job work, but can be a bit sluggish with more than a couple of apps open at any one time.
I'm just coming around to the idea of retiring it and getting an Air 15", at least then I won't be stuck on an old OS. Shame though, the screen, speakers, keyboard are all great - and battery is still pretty good.
