![]() OTOH the only chance you have with Pro Tools on this system is likely to run Pro Tools 10 or earlier, and Yosemite is already later than the officially supporters OS X releases for Pro Tools 10. So you might want to stay on Yosemite or earlier if for no other reason. Looks like the last supported version of OS X on that hardware is El Capitan (El Crapitan), widely considered a bad OS X release. Starting by finding info on the exact Mac you have and what upgrades if any you might want to make. You need to be able to work much of this out for yourself. With Pro Tools 10 or earlier, properly set up you should be able to run smaller sessions on this computer, you won't be able to run very heavy VI sessions. We cannot guess what you really want to do and you give no clues what you are doing in the session, how large the sessions would be etc. ![]() In general a nice thing with MacBook Pro 15" and 17" from that era is how easy it was to max out the RAM and install two SATA SSDs inside them.with a quad core i7 CPU and dedicated GPU they were nice machines, but they are all getting old now. But I'd question how much money to put into this computer, you would likely be better off buying say a a later used 15" MacBook Pro. On the 15" and 17" models you can replace the Optical drive with a second SSD (but need to check if that optical interface is at least SATA II not SATA I). And you would want a dedicated audio/drive, ideally an SSD. and you might want to upgrade that boot drive. If it's only say a 4800 RPM drive then the machine is not likely to be great. You don't say what Hard Drive is in this computer. And you only have 4 GB or memory that limits you to running Pro Tools 10 or earlier. The Core 2 Duo is not really a very powerful processor. A model code or EMC number would give more info. You don't say if this is a 13, 15 or 17" model. You really need to be able to work this out for yourself.
