(or trade) Need a decent Windows laptop?
I am selling/trading my Samsung RF-510 S02 laptop as I simply have too much computer gear and the wife is less than thrilled with all of it.
$500 or equivalent trade. See below for trading information
The Base Specs:
LCD Size: 15.6"
CPU: i7 Q 720 @ 1.6Ghz, 1600Mhz, 4 Cores
Memory; Shipped with 4GB DDR3 - I upgraded this to 8GB (Crucial branded memory)
Storage: 640GB - I upgraded this to a 256GB Corsair M4 SSD. It’s SUPER FAST.
Graphics Chipset: NV330M
Maximum Graphics Memory: 1GB DDR3
Web Cam: 0.3MP Web Camera
Wireless LAN: 802.11bg/n
Bluetooth: Yes
I/O Ports: VGA, HDMI, 2 x USB 2.0, 2 x USB 3.0, Headphone jack, Mic jack RJ45, Multi-Card Slot (SD, SDHC, SDXC, MMC)
This was the laptop I used in my original DJTT Windows Optimization blog article:
I have used this machine with the S4, Z2 and Maschine. The S4 has been happily running at 5.3ms latency.
I put together a quick video to show the set up of the machine.
Please note that the software on this laptop IS NOT INCLUDED. You’ll see that I have 2 partitions. One is for day-to-day work and the other is strictly for DJ/Production work. The laptop will ship with a fresh copy of Windows Home Premium installed.
I also have some options for you guys that want a pre-configured system other than the standard factory install.
Windows Home Premium - Traktor Optimized: $50
The OS will be tweaked and stripped for optimal Traktor performance
Your choice of Windows 7 OS - Traktor Optimized $65
If you have a different version you would like on the machine - you’ll need to provide the product key and potentially the install media.
Windows Home Premium Dual Boot System - Traktor Optimized $100
Partition 1: Windows Home Premium. Partition 2 Windows Home Premium.
Your choice of Windows 7 OS Dual Boot System - Traktor Optimized $120
Partition 1: Windows Home Premium. Partition 2 Windows Home Premium. You’ll need to provide the product keys and potentially the install media.
Trading Information
Happy to trade for gear of similar value.
Items I will consider:
- Kontrol F1
- CDJs
- Serato Box
- Portable Field Recorder
- Mixer (studio, not DJ)
- Midi keyboard.
If you have something else to trade that’s not a DJ controller, Dj mixer, Audio Interface or turntable - let me know.
How trading with SmiTTTen works (this is tried and tested).
- We agree on the trade and confirm the trade via e-mail.
- If the items are of similar size/weight, we both pay to ship our items. If there is a lot more shipping on one side versus another - we’ll work something out.
- You send me the item(s) first. As a mod and writer for DJTT I have no interest in ripping anyone off and doing so would kill my relationship with the bosses in SF. I am also a Mod on this forum so you know I’m not going anywhere.
- You must send your items with tracking numbers.
- If your goods are as described, I will send you the laptop within 72 hours. You will get a tracking number and you will have to sign for anything I send.
- If your goods are not as described, I will send them back to you. You will have to pay for the shipping costs I incur. The same rules apply to me. If you are expecting a laptop and I send you a selection of cheeses - you shouldn’t have to pay the shipping (unless you eat the cheese)
- Everyone is happy with the trade and we get on with our day.
