Everything you need =! High End
High end ultrabooks like the Thinkpad X1, Zenbook, Series 9 with decent storage capacity will run well over $1000

You don't need an ultrabook. You pay a premium for size. It's possible to get better hardware than most ultrabooks for $600. Actually, for everything you truly "need," you can run Traktor and a DAW on a $400 pc.Quote:

I don't know what point you're trying to make. You brought up that 900 dollars can't buy a high end machine out of nowhere...
High end is all relative anyways...
I wasn't the one who brought up the 900 dollars. That was you.
I said it could buy anything he wanted. Of course it can't buy something that costs more than 900 dollars...
I never said anything about high end.
That makes no sense whatsoever. If someone could have any computer they wanted, they would almost always choose something that costs more than $900.
Please be reasonable. Any computer you want implies there's a huge selection, that it's not limited to a MBP or Toughbook. It's obvious that if you have 900 dollars that you can't get a computer that costs more than 900 dollars.
Unless you are DJ'ing in Afghanistan buy a Second Hand or Refurbished Macbook Pro.
The Toughbooks are quite amazing machines if you need something that will (genuinely) take a bullet or survive a 100ft drops, but I honestly dont think most clubs patrons are that bad, or have dj boxes that high to warrant getting one.
Technically there IS actually one legit reason for using a Toughbook, and that's that they're waterproof :) No spilt drink mishaps :)
Although, the same thing DOES apply to IBM ThinkPads as well:
