Looking for laptop tips (alien.top)

Hello <3 I'd like to learn how to create music with ableton live and I would also love to learn how to create animations.

To keep space and for convenience I'm looking for a thin laptop. I've been looking into the macbook air 15''. I know pro is better than air for these things but this is also for budget reasons.

Seems like it would be possible to use the macbook air for ableton live but do you guys know if it would be possible to use for animation as well? If not, do you possibly have any other tips?

I wish you a good rest of the week <3

Don’t get the MacBook Air, just please don’t, that thing is a thermal throttling mess that doesn’t have fans and it won’t be able to handle Ableton Live correctly, trust me on this one, you will regret getting the Air, not to mention that you need a lot of RAM and storage for Ableton Live to work correctly, which the Pro’s have.
