Best MacBook for Recording Music

[thickofit]

Hi all,

I am looking at buying a MacBook to record music. It'll be fairly basic guitar, vocals, piano, etc. No EDM yet! What do you guys/girls recommend? I'm not looking to break the bank on the latest, top of the range model - I'm fine with second hand/refurbished.

Cheers!

Any MacBook Pro released in the last couple of years will be fine although you'd probably want plenty of RAM if you're running various plug-ins. Definitely something with a Retina display. 13" vs 15" will depend on if you prioritise screen estate over potability. I'd assume you'd use a Thunderbolt interface for the lowest latency if you're recording directly into the computer, but that's not my area of expertise.
