Funky_Steve Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Exactly what laptop (make, model, configuration) are others using for their DJ setup?What would others recommend as the minimum specs? I realise this may depend on what software you plan on using but I just want to get an idea of what to look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pill Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 As mentions above, Asia g73jh, very pricey but amazing specs and runs everything like a dream. Quad core intel, 8 gig ram, ati 5870m graphics, 1tb hdds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 fark pill that must of cost a mint..., those specs would be pretty high in a desktop, let alone a laptop which is always like 3x the price, hope it makes breakfast and cooks and cleans!

chrismak Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I don't use a laptop for mixing but I can certainly recommend Macbook Pro for a solution that just works. Using PC's and laptops running Windows Vista & 7, I've experienced numerous system and software crashes, intermittent wireless network connectivity issues (drivers?), and slow boot times almost always after 3 months from installing Windows. PC's are fun to build, tweak and play games on but aren't that great for anything else.The Macbook Pro I use for work has never failed and its 3 years old! Highly recommended for no-nonsense professionals who value simplicity, usability and reliability. Don't let the specification / cost comparisons fool you. Do some research to compare how often your chosen DJ software crashes for each platform. That's what's going to matter when you're doing a gig or when you're halfway through recording your demo.btw, I'm no Apple fanboy. I'll never buy an iPhone again! But that's a different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjDennis Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 well if he has the money then he can use itjust for a normal dj setup you would start doing the extreme - or you should be asking for a lot more $$$ just to make back what you spentmy min charges are for 5x hrs @ $900.00 and I go up from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
