Re: 2019 MacBook Pro hardware options - best for Pro Tools?
32Gb memory and upgrade the internal ssd drive to 1T or more if you can afford it. PT isn't graphic intensive so whatever it comes with.
Also include a backup external drive incased the system farts....

What options would you rank from most to least likely to affect performance?
Processor
2.3 GHz. boost to 4.8 vs 2.4 GHz, boost to 5.0
Memory
16 GB vs 32 GB
GPU
Radeon Pro 560X vs Radeon Pro Vega 16 vs Radeon Pro Vega 20
I'm thinking of maxing out the processor and the RAM and keeping the base GPU.
Does that sound reasonable?
Thanks!
