What To Do? Lemur Or Macbook Pro 15"

[miyuru]

Lemur I guess...

I think it's overkill for most applications though. But hey, it's your money

[illstep]

dont get why you wanna get a new macbook if you got one that works for you?

and then it's really somewhat useless to ask a forum full of gearwhore-controllerist whether to get some notebook or an awesome lemur

so +1 lemur

[Damien1138]

Buy the lemur, and sell me the VCI =)

You should check out these videos. They show the lemur and TPro.

Glossy plus no Firewire has really killed it for me

What's up with people and not liking the glossy screen?! I use a MBP for every gig, gloss and all, I've taken quite a liking to it, looks really sharp and fresh. And it stops trainspotters. So HA!

LOL...man only if you knew me in real life. I have to work my ass off for anything that I want. My parents are pretty well off, but im 28 yrs old, its not like im gonna goto my dad and say, hey I need 2k to buy a new mbp or the lemur.

When I was 12, I told my pops, "I want some Technics 1200's" He said how much are they? I said about $800.00. The man got me a job for spring break and covered the difference so I could get them.

Well done that man !!!! Seriousley !!! Two many spoilt little fuckwits out there that don't understand the meaning of money !!

its the most overpriced item in the world

Hardly

multi touch native support will be available within the year on windows 7 (most likely), ...within 3 months of windows 7 release you'll be able to create your own custom touchscreen console to control your MAC and windows systems in sync.

Multi Touch native support for your OS does not mean that your monitor will support being touched. You will still have to shell out the dough to get a multi-touch enabled monitor, which will not be cheap. So you will have 2 notebook computers, an external touchscreen monitor cause your notebooks aren't touchscreen, 2 different OS's, and a shit ton of headache because windows 7 won't work right, correct?

[QUOTE]$2000 = a LIMITED USE TOUCHSCREEN (Lemur)[QUOTE]
not limited use at all.

[Karlos Santos]

Agreed.

[DJPhaidon]

and another worthwhile point to mention is that although the Windows 7 OS will have multi-touch support, in order to get decent functionality out of Traktor Pro, Ableton Live and the likes, the programs will have to be recoded to support the multi-touch api's and drivers. Lemur bypasses this requirement.

If you already have a mac, don't buy another.
As for the Lemur, i'm not sold...I cant play games properly or even text that accurately on my iPhone as your never sure if you have actually touched the screen in the correct place, so the idea of DJing on a touch screen seems wrong for me. Although I love the idea of touch screens I do like to have the feel of buttons and nobs.
I say buy an xone 4d or 92. : D
