The Apple M1 MacBook Pro can work well for a sound engineer, offering strong performance and efficiency.
You're looking for a MacBook Pro that fits your budget of under 2300 euros.
I’d prefer a HP Spectre X360 or a Dell XPS, though the M1 offers decent performance. It provides more Windows support than Macs in general. I’m uncertain about sound engineering, but a laptop with a dedicated GPU would be better than an M1 with an APU for mapping sound using CAD.
It depends on how professional you approach this. If it isn’t your responsibility, you might not need to seek one. But if it is, you should check if the software you’re using is officially compatible with M1. Otherwise, you could try running it under Rosetta—it might work—but it won’t be optimal. From a performance standpoint, M1 MacBooks could offer the best results in that price range, especially if CPU speed matters more than GPU power. With a budget around 2300 euros, you could get a nearly fully spec MacBook Pro 13-inch, which will definitely be a unique experience.
