Instead of always upgrading the windows laptop evert 2 years, and purchasing virus protection ( Norton Anti-Virus ) which isn't free. You have to pay for virus protection and that isn't cheap.
I've never used virus protection on my PC's... I think I got a virus once... entirely my fault, too.
Macs on the other hand you don't pay for virus protection they never get viruses and live a lot longer then your average windows pc.
You can't compare a Macbook Pro to a entry level consumer notebook... Of course it's going to last longer. Now if you compare it to a Dell Precision or HP Elitebook, then we are talking a proper comparison. And Macs CAN get viruses... there simply aren't that many being developed for them, which leads people to believe Macs "never get viruses."
Think about the long run.. Will you upgraded more parts in your pc over the next years? New ram? New Sound card? Video Card?
Etc.. The cost is about the same to a 1,200.00 macbook pro which comes stock with the top of the line processor & ram.
Why would you need to upgrade a basic machine that can run Traktor flawlessly? It's not like PC RAM is any different from or ages any more quickly than Mac RAM. I have a Lenovo T61 from 2005 that still runs Traktor like a champ... no upgrades. P.S. Even a $2,000 MBP does not come with "top of the line" hardware. The PC market holds the crown for having the most advanced hardware available. But then again, this discussion is moot because you really don't need that advanced of a computer to run DJ software...
I would lean towards the 1,200.00 macbook pro 13" thats what i have
If it works for you, great. Doesn't mean it's the only option. Personally, I dislike the low resolution on those.
