    Default Should i buy this laptop for Djing?

    The lenovo y410p http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops...10p/index.html

    I'm planning on using it for school and Djing as well.

    Go for it! Plenty of power for both. Just remember to make separate user accounts for DJing and other tasks and optimize that dj profile for audio purposes.

    @AllDay Having the OS and the programs on the SSD will increase the overall speed of the computer,because an SSD doesn't have to always spin a disk(and also is quieter,but it is also expensive).

    @Zolo Almost any laptop is great for DJing but a better spec computer means a smaller chance to crash(and a macbook means zero chances to crash,this is why DJ's usually buy macbook,but the price is higher too)

    The hdd is for storage while the ssd is for running programs.

    I put ssds in all the machines we run at home. Feel like I've ruined myself now. Any time I'm forced to interact with a non-ssd machine my blood pressure shoots up, I get the sweats and suddenly feel the urge to verbally abuse anyone in a 50 meter radius.

    i7 running at 2.4 GHz will let you do pretty much anything you want unless you're doing everything at once. I have an i7 at 2.9 GHz and I can basically run Ableton with Traktor while on Skyrim stabbing dragons all while writing an essay. Do it.
