No shit. Which interface?
Brand shouldn't be your question, to some degree to be fair, I use a vaio, I know exactly how to keep mine in perfect function I usually am using only 4% of my CPU. While watching multiple youtube videos and hulu videos I max out around 10% of CPU. Serato, and VDJ FLstudio only put my laptop at 30% CPU use. my ram is usually is on 50% during my most demanding computer use.
Defragment, organize, and use an external to store your music, and only your hard drive for songs you will use at a gig, Techno is usually not used so I keep the Gb's of techno on the external.
if you totally don't know shit about computers go for the mac. my gateway laptop lasted 8 years on me the screen went out. i have now a lenovo edge one year now one single problem running serato mp3 and video. the funny thing is on the gateway i had to tune it and tweak it for music(win xp) on the lenovo edge i did nothing to it out the box no tweaking one year with one freeze during warm up when i first bought it. if you want to be one of those elite apple guys just buy a apple sticker..lol this is another topic that will never end..
That's probably why.
You get hundreds of answer's and 99% aren't right.
Just like this post on Mac & PC. its always Mac's are better or
My PC lasted 8 years.
But are they on the same software as you.
I was on PC for years but it was ok for Audio but I had to tweak the shit out of it.
Then came video mixing, And that PC would not cut it. I brought every high end laptop and nothing worked took them all back.
Fast forward to a 2007 Macbook pro 2.0ghz and 2 gb memory with 160gb harddrive. Ran vsl video without a hiccup.
all the PC'S murdered the mac in spec's wise. but performance they sucked.
Times my PC would shut down @ A Gig. The Promoter said I can Have you spinning at my club and this shit happens. Next day Brought A Mac and never looked back.
P.S. 1 Thing Is I Never Ask What Laptop Is Better For DJ'ing.
I saw Dj's with Mac's and was like ok they shit works with no issues.
End Result Now I Have 3 Macbook Pro's
2x 15" Unibody Pro's 2011 & 2010
1x 13" Unibody Pro's 2011
The 2007 Is Installed At A Motorcycle Club Thats Been There For 1 1/2 years.

lol I'm surprised we never see the argument that we should trash all of our PCs and Macs and DJ without computers I guess the vinyl folks don't venture into the Digital forum much lol

if its up to spec, doesn't crash.. work with it.
when I had an s4, I used a plain old macbook with it. 2.2 ghz duo core 6 gigs of ram. Ran perfectly fine.
Can't help you there, but I went from a $2,000 ThinkPad to an $1800 MacBook and the Macbook was better.
I actually specifically want to do that, but it's just a simplicity thing. I'm probably not going to be able to afford to do it for a long time.
