Thank you for all the advice! I will be scoring to video, but it says in the protools system requirements that 8GB is needed for video playback, what component of using video requires the 16GB? If I need the i7 and the 16GB i will then not get the extra storage and stick with 128 GB. I suppose storage is the least important since I can have an external hard drive hold anything that doesn't fit? Thanks so much for the help!
