Ableton Forum

I guess what I'm getting at is, if only performance cores are used and PC laptops with Intel chips have the same number of performance cores, is there some other reason for getting a MacBook vs a Windows laptop with an audio interface? Option B is definitely less expensive.

I'm new to Ableton and looking to get a laptop for music production (studio dj mixes, EDM production, etc., no live band stuff). I've been doing a bunch of research, and with Apple making its M chips skewed more to efficiency cores with each generation (and Ableton Live not using them) I'm wondering...
