pill Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Yeah. I use macs at uni for video editing, powerful but i'm just not that used to using them for other things.Used to PCs so that's why I'm leaning that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBG Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 MACs for DJing and Production, also video editing etc. PCs for everything else. easyChoose your laptop based on those FACTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjDennis Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 But CBG you can still do the same thing now macs have gone to the Darksidethey all use INTEL CPU'sif they wasnt using them then I would have said that a mac is far betterbut think what its like now.. macs are just like a PCjust the software is more expensive because they call themself a macnope i'll stay with a PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBG Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 YEah but MACs are heaps more stable and the fact is that not many ppl know to properly protect their pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjDennis Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 but did you read that macs can be infected with viruses and there is a lot more virus programs outmyposthttp://www.ausdjforums.com/modules.php? ... 0584#30584I can protect a pc more than macs ever could bebecause it cost $$$$$ than a pc is $$ to fix and usebut if you have the money for a mac then go for itI have 8x laptops here I am looking at now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruggs Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 i got a mac and im happy with it...its up to you in the end...i just seen alot of the djs using serato had macs and thought i'd follow suit as they would have the option of mac or pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjDennis Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 so ruggs you say that serato is just for macs or for both ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pill Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Yeah. I know there is one program that is mac only (ableton?) but the rest is multi-platform. And dennis, intel being the darkside?
