My Asus runs Traktor and Ableton without a problem.
I have 2 lappy’s. One of em is a low spec machine, Other is a decent spec. The low spec one E1-1200 AMD, 8GB and 500GB HD, I’ve streamlined win 8, use it for TP2/Serato, it’s been configured for speed, and it’s doing my job the very best, and even though it’s my backup machine, I sometimes use it as my main machine when gigging.
Best to stick with Intel Processors for Audio due to potential issues with USB sound cards.
This is exactly what I would have bought.
I came to the realization though that I don’t DJ out and my built computer can run my set up just fine. I decided to get Chromebook instead to meet the rest of my needs.
I just bought an HP Pavilion i7, 6 gig of RAM for $579, can’t beat that…
