    Yeah, that's a good idea. Apparently windows runs the most stable on Macs so you get the best of both worlds!

    The Ultrabook will absolutely ANNIHILATE the MacBook. Plus, if you're really set on using OS X (fuck knows why you would be) you can always install it on the Ultrabook.

    The Novatech has a better processor (not necessary for Traktor) and 1 additional USB port.

    The Macbook has a better screen, keyboard, trackpad, build quality, and the price difference leaves you with plenty of money for an SSD which you can install alongside the existing HDD.

    If you're getting an ultrabook, you should definitely be getting one from a name brand since the chance of you being able to service one is slim.

    I'm not a fan of Apple at all, but it's the better choice in this situation.

    Novatech's a large custom computer company in the South of the Uk with very good customer service, I have bought a computer from them before and you cant get any more for your money with the prices they do. Ill probably go with the Ultrabook at its better specs and more 'future proof'

    let me ask you guys this can you name Famous Dj's that use a laptop that DOES'NT use a Macbook? this should be a short list

    I'd take that older Macbook over the Ultrabook anyday. Stability and Support of OSX wins. Damn that half eaten fruit....

    Why would you want to use windows 8.

    @jacksoe12 I think mostly it's what Operating System you prefer. Both Mac and Windows Computers if you take care of them and not overload will be just fine
