Looking at my options for a portable DJ only MacBook Pro or Air. For various reasons the PC world just isn't cutting it any longer and I need something that will just work for music.
I don't have a budget per se but no way in hell I'm forking over 1500 plus for a new MBP considering the specs. A quadcore processor seems a waste of money for Traktor and Maschine and I can upgrade RAM/HD(SSD) in the near future. My biggest concerns are shelf life of at least 3-4 years and the potential to add my own components (RAM...SSD). I also plan (tentative adn not a deal breaker) to get a local shop to put a powder coat of dark grey on the AL body so AppleCare be damned. I don't plan to keep my complete music library on the MB as all purchasing, DL and file conversions will still occur on my PC laptop. I hardly gig anymore but plan to do some special events during my vacation in the Spring and later in the Summer back in the States as i'm not really est. in the UAE. I just want to be able to bring my choicest tracks over to the MB and have an external just in case that odd track would fit into a set.
Short version:
Anyone use a MB Air for DJ'ing? I'm not too concerned about screen resolution but the larger res of the MB Air is appealing as the 13" MBP is a tad lacking. 2 USB ports=Just enough.
thanks
