i hope that with more and more feedback in the controllers themselves we wont need a laptop screen for anything, except maybe for track navigation.
i think that all-in-one is very cool but don't like the idea of the screen always being front and center between me and everyone else. i'd rather people see what i am doing on the controller etc. people might just assume the dj is just using a standard laptop and doesn't have any kind of controller at all.
unless the screen detaches? that would be cool...
with epad things getting more and more powerfull i'd like to hope that we could run traktor on something like that in the future, which could then double up as a touch surface itself, along side regular controllers.

Anyway, I said it in the first thread... this is the one of the coolest mods I've ever seen and it definitely deserves Mod of the Year. (which doesn't exist yet)
The problem with an integrated computer/controller is that computers get 2x faster/cheaper/more energy efficient all the time. In 2+ years or so the built-in computer can't compete with the cheapest Mac laptop out there, for example.
so that while you're playing... it really does look like you're hunched over a laptop all night?

I've merged the two threads.
I'm glad to see such a discussion over this.
A few things I would like to point out .
First, you can dim the screen and the lights so they are not a distraction.
Second, I also set up NI's Reaktor so I can use the midi fighter buttons to
trigger sounds as well. (Such as Razor's dubstep!)
Third, with the multitouch screen the secondary control surface feels natural and with the larger screen, you can actually use your fingers without screwing things up.
Fourth, I have had Traktor, and multiple instruments in Reaktor along with Windows media player all running realtime and average 15% CPU usage.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with 8GB of ram and 1.5TB HD. Core I7 makes this beefier than a laptop! I don't see me needing a new system anytime soon.
Plus I also have replacement parts on the shelf in case anything fails.
Yes, including the touch screen.
Please ask any questions, I will answer them as best as I can.
Oh, video coming soon!
