Correct Macbook Pro for Avid MC 3
I am about to purchase the Macbook Pro 2.8GHz.
I have spoken to Avid and they say that the Media Composer 3 specs are for a 2.5GHz and that they have not tested it for a 2.8GHz. They where unable to verify if Media Composer 3 would install and work properly on a 2.8GHz MBP without any hitches.
Will I be able to install the Avid on a 2.8 and have fully functional?
Or should I settle for a 2.53GHz?Thank you.

Avid “Qualifies” each computer that they support. You can install on others, but they won’t “qualify” every computer. The biggest thing when looking at the computers that Avid qualifies is not so much the processor, but all the other hardware (graphics card, etc.) and operating system.
Also, don’t upgrade the Mac OS until Avid releases a new version for the new OS.whatever release. The Mac OS and Avid version must work together.
Since the 2.8 is new, they probably haven’t run it through tests.
If it were me, I would buy the new (2.8GHz) computer and not the slower. If you look at the Avid System Requirements, they don’t even list the 2.53GHz you mention–just the 2.5
