school laptop help

My brother is a freshman in college and produces music for a hobby. I built him a really nice desktop for his music production. He needs a new laptop for schoolwork on the go and he wants to get a macbook. The only macbook for 999 has a 7th gen processor and 4 year old graphics. I tried to talk him into the XPS 15 base model but he wants the macbook. His reasoning is that most DJ-ing software is desigened to work better on a mac. Is there any truth to this? What should I recommend my parents buy him? 

I considered getting a macbook pro 13 inch base model that is only 300 dollars more and I can upgrade the storage if he needs it.

 

BTW the serato system requirements are really basic at 4 gigs of ram 1.07ghz processor and 1 gigabyte of Vram
