hi there! i am a total novice with this so be nice 😅 i need some advice for which macbook pro to buy for dj-ing and music production. in particular running rekordbox, mixed in key & i would like to learn ableton. also have a massive library of music. i am getting back into it after stopping for a few years, my old macbook is from 2016 and doesn’t want to run well anymore.

looking at one of the new 2023 macbook pros but am so confused about what specs i’ll actually need.

is 18gb ram enough or will i need 36gb? how much storage 500 or 1tb? is the new m3 pro chip worth the $$ over the m2?

overall is it worth it to get the best specs or will i be fine with 18gb ram, 500gb storage but opt for the m3 chip?

or go with 36gb ram, 1tb storage with the m2 chip??

any help will be appreciated so much!

and i am sticking to mac as i have an iphone and it’s easier to connect everything !

thank you in advance ☺️
