Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can advise if the 1.4GHz Quad-Core Processor with Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz on the 13" MacBook Pro would be sufficient for music production? (for use with software such as Ableton, Logic, Reaper etc.) There is the option of a 2.4GHz processor, but it's an extra $300 which I don't want to be spending if there isn't a real need to.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

yes and there is not that much difference in perf between it and the 2.4 GHz model - see here re geekbench benchmark scores

1.4 is only the base clock. base clock speeds are more about efficiency. but it can turbo up to 3.9 GHz
