    Default PC resolution

    Hie guys

    Im looking to get a 15.6' laptop with resolution of 1366x768..It seems to not have the best screen real estate at that resolution..just would like to know if that might cause any viewing problem for me when using Traktor 2,other dj related software?

    Unless you have a seriously compelling reason to get a laptop with a resolution that low, I would avoid it if at all possible. On a 15.6" screen that res is going to look like crap. As for Traktor, you're going to have a very cramped screen - harder to browse, harder to see what you're doing, etc. Keep in mind that's basically netbook resolution, and they have screens about half the size.

    There won't be any issue with the Traktor or VirtualDJ view. The resolution is high enough.I also own a 14" notebook with 1368x... screen and everything's alright!

    im using a 15" with the same res and i have no problems at all.

    With Traktor...dont even bother looking at your browsing screen while u have ur decks playing...thats what the browser view is for.

    I dont care if you use 2 ipads...2 cassette tapes...or a washboard and a wooden spoon...if you rock it, you rock it.

    I have a 14" with 1368x768. It's fine. I do keep TP2 in a 2 deck mode, and don't display the sample decks. That gives me 10-ish lines in the browser.

    If I need to see the sample decks then I will also need to switch to the full screen browser to do any song selection.

    There's no real major issue with Traktor, but with Maschine & the like, you may not see the whole VST, option screen & such. My latest laptop have this resolution, not bad, but certainly something I wouldn't buy again.

    Again, with Traktor there's no real issue.

    I smell bullshit ..

    Running games generally requires as much if not more Juice than DAW's ..better graphics, more ram, faster processors, hard-drives etc.

    Regards the resolution, it'll work just fine but its pretty low res for a 15' in this day and age.

    You'd be better off posting models' rather than "gaming laptop" if you want real answers
