recommend me a laptop PC UK

[RD444]

Stay away from a Dell like its girl with an adams apple.

Nothing but trouble. Dont be fooled by all the bells and whistles and free cameras and printers and shit.

If you want to spend all your life tweaking and suspending services rather than just DJing then by all means by a Dell.

Im a Mac guy so i cant really recommend a good PC but i can warn you about a bad one and its Dell.

For every person that says "well i use a Dell and its fine" there are 97 million people that cannot get rid of spikes and pops.

If nobody bought Dells id be happy.

cheers

I'll avoid Dell

Dells are fat pieces of shit from my experience. In all my years troubleshooting systems, Dell laptops have the poorest thermal engineering it's mind blowing, like Core i7 MacBook Pro's getting hot enough to burn your nuts off.

OEM is Original Equipment Manufacturer, they include Dell/Alienware, HP/Compaq, Sony, etc. ODM is Original Design Manufacturer, and they are the ones who actually MAKE the laptop, sell them in bulk to the OEM, and the OEM stamps their brand, and packages it to the consumer, usually at a mark up which is significant.

My brother bought a nice Dell laptop. He says it's great for making grilled cheese sandwiches, and keeping papers from blowing around the room while the fans on.

I think he mentioned something about it functioning as a computer...I dunno, doesn't happen that often so it ain't worth mentioning lol.

Any dual core will fully handle Traktor Scratch (i have 1,4 Ghz old mobile pentium and traktor is running smoothly :-) with no dropouts, MIDI only).

Hp 5310m
HP dm3
HP envy (made for Djing, you can get traktor scratch duo bundled with it )

Asus U/UL/UX series (long battery, very stylish, portable, and the ULV cpus are still enough powerfull to run any Dj software ;-)). Try to find the new ones with Core i3/5 CPUs wich are much faster than C2D, even with lower speed.

Or get a MAC ;-)

Btw, audio dropouts are based on drivers... i've found out that WDM drivers do the job perfectly ;-)

Btw, audio dropouts are based on drivers...

And about a 100 other things as well.

Mainly services running in the background.

Often USB related.

There are many layers to the dropout onion.
