I want to get into DJing and Im wanting to purchase the ddj rb as it seems the best offer. I checked the minimum requirements and my laptop only just meets them (i3 processor and 4gb of ram (I have 3.97 free)).
Will the rb work ok with my laptop or will it run slow/lag?
Many thanks.

Hi Kevwin,
Congratulations on making the decision to start DJing.
Good choice on controller as well. I don't think you'll have any issues with the specs you listed. What capacity is your hard drive at right now?
Kind regards,Aaron Benjamin

I have about 400 gb and 280 gb free.
Thank you for the reply. The last thing I want is to get the controller then have to spend fortunes on upgrading the laptop...also I didn't want to get the SB2 either!!

it may lag a bit when you try to use effects. my girlfriend has an i5 with 4gb of ram and serato was skipping like a cd to the point that i couldnt use it. it might work for now but you will DEFINITELY want to upgrade before playing any major gigs. either way, the sb2/rb is the cheapest, reliable controller on the market and can easily flip it if you decide you dont want it

i3 processor with 4GB of RAM should be fine. Just be sure to optimize your machine for audio processing and disable wifi and bluetooth.

Thank you so much. I'll give that a go as soon as I get home.
As for major gigs...I doubt it as this will be the first time I've mixed anything, so for now I'll be happy to annoy the mrs with my bad jungle mixing!!!!
