Does anyone know if it's possible to run Logic Pro 7 on a new Core 2 Duo Macbook? I was thinking about buying a Macbook pro a few months ago and I know for a fact that those can run Logic without problems but can a regular Macbook do it as well? It'd save a lot of money if it could... if anyone knows please respond. Thanks!

I am not certain, but Logic is probably mostly processor-bound so it should run as well on a MacBook as it does on a MacBook Pro. Reading the required specs on the Apple page suggests it should run just fine.

thanks for that info, i actually just checked the site after you reminded me to do so and according to the required specs it does seem like it's possible, i think i might know what my next large purchase might be now

I haven't run logic on a MB, but works fine on a MBP. The two biggest problems you will run into are lack of screen real estate (I mean... logic takes up ROOM!) and hard drive speed.
I'm not sure what you'll be doing in Logic, but I know a lot of hard core audio engineers (pro and amaeture level) that ***** about lag times with 5400 rpm drives.
then again, you can pop in your own 7200 rpm drive in the MB... unlike us wiht the freaking MBPs. Luckily I got a 7200 rpm drive in mine when I bought it :-D
Now if I could figure out logic... -
haha, yea logic is tough to learn but once you get it down, it's the best audio production software on the market (in my opinion anyways)... i run logic on a g5 but i want to use it on a portable machine when on the go... maybe ill just toss a 7200rpm drive in the regular MB or maybe if the price comes down a little in the MBP... that'd obviously be nice too, we'll see, i wont be doing this for another month or 2 but i'm doing my research now as you can see
Running Logic Pro 7 on Macbook?
