2.4ghz vs 2.5ghz MBP

TYPHY · 23rd November 2011

I am buying a Macbook Pro:

15" 2.4ghz quad core i7
8gb RAM and ata drive at 7200rpm

My question is for $200 more should I get the 2.5ghz? I will be using this mainly for making beats and mixing/mastering. Can someone explain what advatanges the 2.5 would provide?

$250 for a 0.1 ghz difference was not worth it to me. I picked up the i7 2.4. I mostly mix and track overdubs. Max out your ram. Upgrading to the 7200 rpm internal drive ($50) will help with loading programs and samples faster.
