Re: i5 8400
I'm on Windoze , i have one lappie with an i5, one with an i7 duo and desktop with i7 fourcore all running 2018.12 "Native" or whatever they are calling it(Not ultimate,maybe, i dont know). The i5 is used only for small stuff as it will choke when track numbers and cpu hog plugins are in use. It's perfectly fine for singer sonqwriter stuff, with a FEW VI's OR no VI's and higher track counts. My old G4 850 with PT 5.3 is just as good so that kinda tells you there are some limitations. But not entirely unworkable. More VI's i would def go for the fastest i7 he can afford. IMHO
