Windows or Mac Laptop for Ableton? I'm looking to buy a new laptop to use with Ableton and can't seem to figure out wether to buy windows or mac. At the moment I'm using an iMac Desktop computer (i5, 16GB, 250SSD) and I already know the specs I'm hoping for in a laptop (Quad Core i7, 16GB Ram, at least 500SSD). I'm also using an Apogee Duet and would preferably like a Laptop that has both USB-A and USB-C so I can use my Push 2 and other midi controllers.



My main questions are...

Will using a Mac desktop computer and a Windows laptop cause any potential problems?

And is it smarter to build a Windows laptop with these specs and save $1500, or to just spend the $4000 on the later model MacBook Pro that has these specs?

Does producing music on a Mac make much of a difference compared to a PC?
