Hi, Robert.
Thanks for the question! I see you are interested in a new MacBook Air and have questions about the compatibility of Garageband. The basic MacBook Air configuration starts at 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 with 4 GB of RAM and is configurable up to 2.2GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 with 8 GB RAM. These configurations do meet the minimum system requirements for the most current version of Garageband.
GarageBand 10.0
- OS X Mavericks
- Mac with Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
- Recommended: 4 GB RAM with i3 processor (or faster)
Keep in mind that configuring a system with more RAM and a faster processor can increase system performance.
I hope this information helps and thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Cheers
