I was wondering if should I buy an Air 13'' with i7 1.7 or MBP 13''...
I'm worried because the lack of USBs and because there is no Firewire.
I think I will wait for some hubs to appear before jump into Air :
Thunderbolt -> 4xUSB
Thunderbolt -> Firewire800
If I had to spend my own Nickel I would not hesitate going with a Air. I have a 2 year old Air here that runs Traktor really well granted you cannot slam it with a bunch of FX and stuff but for normal tasks its great. Can only imagine what the current crop is like.
which one ? The 13 or 11' ?
I wouldn't really consider the 11' .... 13' at a minimum resolution looks sick too and looks like it'd put my battered 2 year old MBP to shame.
as much as i want to get the 2011 MBA - 256GB SSD is not enough to store all my music
I just upgraded my macbook pro hdd to 750GB and its still not enough - really cant imagine going to 256GB unless i really downsize my library
too bad though the 13 inch MBA looks so SEXY
Setup:
Traktor Pro 2 / S2 MK2 / X1 MK2 / Audio6 / Pioneer HDJ2000 / Westone UM3X / rMBP 13 inch 2014 (2.8 GHz) / Focal Alpha 50
as mentioned earlier the USB connectivity is the biggest problem. But the air's are more and more looking like the perfect portable dj laptop
2 x Technics 1210's (mk3's), Xone 62, Denon 3500, TSP2, Traktor Kontrol S4, Midifighter, Macbook pro
That's my worry... My music collection right now is not so large, I can live with 256GB, but I'm not a professional DJ yet, I think it will rise as the time goes on and I will end up needing an external HD. It's even worse because that I would loose half of the USBs...
It would be easier to choose if there was an adaptor, hub or something to expand the thunderbolt port to multi-protocols adapters (usb, firewire, ethernet, hdmi)
Shouldn't it be theoretically possible to make a powered Thunderbolt USB hub with like 50 ports if you wanted? If no one's made a TB USB hub yet (other than the new cinema display, that doesn't count lol), I'm amazed!
