But anyway, it's all about the high end Lenovo thinkpads. Someone lend me 3 or 4 grand so I can get one.

I still haven't committed to anything as yet, but swapped my ecler mixer for an s4 with a hit called nicky off djtt. I'm now thinking of either an said bamboo... for battery life and design or a dell Xps for jbl 2.1 speakers and sheer processing power. Any thoughts on either of these?

Right

so heres what I decided upon, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I'll let you know what its like in comparison to the i5 2.53 ghz macbook pro, I used to run.

That's a pretty robust laptop.
Might want to invest in an SSD to extend the battery usage/faster access.

Do people have an issue with tracks loading too slowly?

**dj stifffy** · 06-06-2011, 11:56 AM

i have about a .5 second load time, the track doesnt show for like a whole 1.5 seconds but i can still play :O

Yeah I get to watch mine load in real time in xwax :P

I just don't really give a damn, I spend that time sticking the needle on the record. I'd rather have a cheaper HDD. I don't feel the SSD technology is quite there yet and prices are still rather high.
