I went to school for computers and got my masters in IT. Now with that being said, I have owned Apple computers since the 80s. I also owned many PCs as well. The PCs could be easily taken apart and repaired and all that crap back in the day when most of us geeks were not taking our precious Apple machines apart to alter them. Now a days you can mod an Apple machine for the same price basically as you can a pc, you just need to know where to get good pieces for a food price. So the best part now a days with Apple vs PC is the exceptional software, the great service, and solid machines all around. Speak from personal experience I have converted 5 prouder/dj friends to mac. Now that they are on mac they can't believe they ever used a pc. 3 out of those 5 frie ds could not get Traktor working properly on their pc. To me that is a bad ratio. Again this is my personal experience, it's not bashing. On the PCs my friends were using the sound was very poor and scratchy along with traktor crashing multiple times.
So I strongly recomend using Mac from personal experience. I know there Are many people who use a pc for traktor. But personally when you are relying on something professional and you want to be a profesional, well then use what a pro would use.
As for size. I recently went from a 15" MacBook pro to the new 13" MacBook pro. Size is perfect!!
