DJ Traktor Laptop 13inch vs 15inch

[SlvrDragon50]

I have 17" 1080p HP Envy listed in the Marketplace if you're interest.

1080p makes a huge diff.

I comfortably mix using a 13" 1080p Asus screen, but I only use 2 decks. 4 decks is really pushing it.

4 decks on 1440x900 for reference:

Seems fine to me?

All you'd get from 1080p is a smaller UI and a few more tracks visible in the browser box.

I originally used a 15 inch MBP with 2 decks + sample decks. Recently I haven't had a 15 inch and have been using a 13 inch asus which was ok for 2 decks. Once I got the F1 I had to keep switching the sizes of the 4 decks. Not sure if 15 inch would make a big difference.

Most cheap 13" laptops (and even 15") are 1366x768. You definitely want a better resolution than that.

i use to run a 17" mbp.... that shit was an anchor and now im running a 13" mbp the screen size doesn't really bother me. most of the time its the height of the laptop stand and the height of the table your using that makes u lean and squint. I don't stare at my laptop when i spin. if you play out alot the 13" is lighter and more portable.

13" MBA. A friend of mine plays with an 11" Air and swears by it. Key to whole thing, know your music.

Most software today has an extended library view so screen resolution should not be that big of a deal. You can fit 4 decks in a 800p pretty comfortably.

+1. All the advantages of Mac OS, half the weight of the MBP, better screen resolution, and a super fast SSD.

Yes, MBA is pretty good for DJ-ing especially if you have a larger drive to store all your music.
