    Default Which laptop to buy

    Ive seen hundreds of these threads in the past but cant seem to find anything via the search function so here we go,

    im looking for a laptop to run traktor, and hold music. that is it. was looking at the obvious choice, getting a lesser version of a macbook but they only have two USB ports, so im screwed if i start looking into controllerism.

    I have the audio 4 DJ on the way and looking to get the novation dicer with my next pay. This will then fill both USB ports.

    I am currently im using my desktop computer for traktor but portability with this thing is non-existant.

    im looking to spend 3/400 on this laptop, 3/4 usb ports and possibly firewire

    What do you guys recommend?

    Ive always had bad experiences with USB hubs, never seem to take more than two things on a 4port.

    That looks like a brilliant laptop for the price!

    2.1Ghz Core2Duo, 120GB hard drive (obviously could upgrade easily), 2Gb RAM (Again, easily upgradeable) and 4 USB ports!

    Looks perfect for what you're after mate. Unfortunately they're discontinued now which is a shame. So refurbished or eBay it is i reckon.
