I'm in desperate need of a laptop as I can't haul my tower to the club every week haha, it's almost not worth it!
I was wondering laptops the lot of you prefer. Please note what hardware (i.e. VCI) and software you're also using to DJ.

Macbook Pro 15.4" / 2.6 Ghz / 4 gig ram
Audio Kontrol 1
Remote SL 25
Turntable (ammobox soon! omgyay!)
Running Ableton.
Personally i'd say mac all the way, except you have to buy the software if your a pirate then probably not for you (although you can install bootcamp - parallels doesnt work so hot for audio stuff). Also MBP are fkn expensive ($4k). A macbook is easily enough for you, i got a MBP cos i'm a graphic designer. But i love mine, its sooo pretty.
Dell Inspiron E1505/ 2.8 Ghz/ 2 gig ram
X-session pro
M-Audio oxygen
Ableton live
I love my dell it works fine running ableton and all my effects. But I am thinking about upgrading to a mac book pro to use strictly for music. Cause I use my dell for school and also internet.
honestly bro, unless you need the 15.4" screen over the 13" dont spend extra $1500 to get a MBP, its not really worth it, a macbook can run everything musicwise sweet.
Alternatively Unless your really buying for the look..
Acer aspire 3110 1,6 Ghz,2Gb ram
Xponent
Traktor
the Acer is not realy good,the qality is a little bit less good.but it does the job realy well.
So i will in a few months change to an Toshiba satellite
CDuo 2.2/15.4/4GB/400/i hope with Xp
Just bought myself a
DELL VOSTRO 1000
German: http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/pr...dt1&l=de&s=bsd
US:

(seems to be more expensive)
because they are really cheap at the moment and as someone said very stable. You can buy them cheaper as a Business, so the price is 329€ instead of 370€ (i bought the middle one).
I use a Dell, it works fine. Just take care of it. I have enough screen space for Traktor to be clear, and everything works fine. It doesn't need to be a Mac, trust me.
my new Dell xps m1530 is only 1280x800 resolution. i'm so pissed.
so i'm selling it.
my old dell works fine still...that's 1280x1024. i love small.
Get a macbook !!!!!
Best quality price ratio out there !
Powerfull, best OS, light, really portable, sexy, fast....plus tons of little extra that are soooo cool ( finger scrolling, huge trackpad, battery cable.....)
As you were asking, here's what i got
macbook 2 ghz, 2go ram
vestax vci
presonus firebox
