Apple

Hey all. I'm currently a high schooler, looking into buying a MacBook for myself. I'd like to get into producing music, as it's something I've long dreamed of doing, and I feel like a MacBook is the best choice of all the laptops I've looked at. However, I'm unsure of whether I need the extra power of a MacBook Pro, or if I can get away with saving money by getting a MacBook Air. I'd like to spend as little as possible, but I am very afraid that cheaping out will backfire on me and cost me more later. What do you all recommend I go with?

Two additional things to note:

1: Whatever I end up buying, will most likely be a used machine that's a couple of years old. I don't have the money to pay Apple's prices for a shiny, new machine.

2: Whatever I end up getting, I'll probably also use when I go to college, if that matters at all.

Advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you all
