    Hi !

    I need a cheap Mac laptop second hand, for live gig playback/ amp sim.
    Around 200 bucks.

    I need to run THU Overloud/other amp sims in a DAW, with some backing audio tracks.
    Nothing heavy in real time, apart amp sims of course.

    Witch model, to get maximum compatibility with DAWs / plugins ?
    I'm not tied to Logic, so i dont need the last OSX version.
    It seems most softwares / plugins i use are compatible with macOS High Sierra 10.13 and above.

    Thanks for your help !

    PS : i will probably go for a MacBook Pro 2012, to get native Catalina support. And put maximum RAM in the future.

    MacBook Pro 2012 with 16 GB of RAM (the max it holds) and you are set.

    I came to the same conclusion, due to balance between OSX version, RAM (load flexibility) and price.
    Thanks for confirmation ! :wink:
