simo Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hey guys any advice would be great:I am about to buy a new laptop. The only thing I need this laptop for is:- internet for buying my music- I tunes- a good burner to make cd's- run reason 4.0- use a midi keyboardSo pretty much it will be only a djing laptop. I have a external hard drive where i store all my music. If I get some money I might get Serato to use live. Any ideas on what I would need. Im looking to only spend around $1000, is this possible or do I need to spend more.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBG Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 If you plan to buy a laptop thats gunna run Reason 4.0, and serato..1.9. your gunna need some processing power. Gd luck getting that for under $1000. And ur gunna need a decent audio interface. Probably with MIDI in, cus laptops dont have that many USBs.As dennis said, big dollars need to spent if you want all this in a laptop form...
