Do you gig out with Pro on a laptop (not mac) ???

[Jack Bastard]

Yeah, that laptop'll be fine assuming you aren't going to be using the internal soundcard.

Not using internal , I've got an M-Audio Audiofile USB. Although i dont seem to be able to have a monitor output with it. I didnt realise until after i bought it

I'm using Intel Dual core, 2.6ghz, 4 Gigs of RAM, 512 video RAM. The machine ran me about 850 new

My PC laptop that I used for dj 4 to 5 per week before I got my MB was a:

Toshiba P4 HT 2.8Ghz w/60GB HD & 1.5 GB ram, WinXp SP2 (Winbeta 5in1 disc) & the sound card was a Echo DJ I/O

It was a very solid machine until I got a virus.
The only thing that I had installed was Traktor, SoundForge, Nero, MixMeister and Solitare.

What laptop is it ?

[ACE]

I would suggest against using a netbook with PRO. Usually those tiny netbooks can only get 1 gig RAM in there and that's barely enough. Make sure you have your bases covered in terms of hardware before you go buying...

[MisterMoleyMole]

No plans on using a netbook ..... You talkin to me there?

[ACE]

Ok so my girlfriend is trying to get a netbook and at present owns this laptop ....

Is it upto the job of running traktor pro do you think if i clean it off, stick xp pro on it etc etc ....

I thought that's what you were saying here...

[MisterMoleyMole]

ahhh no the one she presently owns is going to be kindly donated to me. The one in the link. Sorry for the confusion there, thats probably me not being clear.

Its the samsung in the link i'm asking about

If you are looking to buy a new laptop eventually, it's not really the best move to buy the same models that others have. Technology is always changing both in specs and in prices. It's best to instead find a brand you (or others) like and simply look online at what they have for offer. Most computer companies allow you to customize a notebook, enabling you to create the best combination your price range allows.
