Why or not buy a Macbook for the traktor s4?

[Waterfree]

Hi, most of the peeps in here say you should get a macbook (pro) when it comes to dj use, and the traktor s4.

Just wonder if there is people here that is against this, in that case why?

Let the fight begin=P

And one more thing, could someone with the 13" screen upload a screenshot of how the traktor s4 software looks on it??


Cheers!

pc work like a wonder if you like to debug and go deeply tweaks things.
mac is plug and play and aim for 15" screen (anti-glare if i remember well) and i GREATLY advice to wait.
Their refreshing their mac book line in january(moslty) or april

being a mac fanboy, you don't need to buy one to get the s4 working properly.

Then ill wait for the new product line, is this confirmed by apple, or is it still just rumors?

guess ill have to tweak a little bit until the macbook. i see someone mentioned in other posts you pay lots of extra cause of the brand Apple... Well here in Norway you can say that...

If you spend the same on a decked out pc laptop and compare and compare it to the price of an apple then they will perform the same. The s4 software is optimized for mac right now but there should be major updates coming.

I would wait for the refresh either way becuz NI will have the update out by then and you may or may not need to spend the extra cash for an adequate computer.

that is what im hoping for, got a Dell precision M6300 17" for schoolwork (3d modelling) and use it with hercules rmx and vjd, but 80% sure about buying the S4 over the next couple of months since i wanna take my dj level a little further.

could be if there is a new update and it will be better with Win computers ill invest in a a 13" pc instead of an Macbook...

get a linux box and run mixxx

If you have a 17" dell that can manage 3d modeling (I'm assuming Catia, UGNX,autodesk etc....) it should handle the s4 software fine, maybe a few tweaks but nothing to go grab a new laptop for.
