Screen size

Hey im thinkin of upgrading my laptop

but can anyone tell me what the best screen size is to get?

Im looking to get something with these kind of specs

XX" screen size
4Gb Ram minimum
i5 or i7 processor
500Gb hard drive minimum
4+ usb ports
Firewire optional
HDMI port

At least 15" dude. I was using a 22" lcd auxillary but am seriously missing that with the new laptop!

yeah. I am totally bummed i cant get a smaller resolution on my mac. Got a bigger LCD but its the same resolution as my mac. So does not really help.

I use a 15" and am happy with it.

15" it is then
cheers guys

15 inch

set it to ext micer, get rid of whatever is left in the middle section

more waves then you need

15

Agreed, I love my 13" MacBook but the screen is a little pokey for DJ software.

13" is perfect for me. I just use spaces to switch between traktor and maschine.

resolution also plays a factor…

Nothing wrong with 13" imo, fits perfectly in my shoulder bag as well…

the laptop i’ll be getting is a 12.1, it’s all about preference, there is not ultimate resolution

no pun intneded:smiley:

I’d be looking at saving some cash and going for a smaller HD then putting in a solid state drive. Or if you’ve got the cash just order it with a SSD. Smaller space is well worth how much faster it reads compared to x-rpm drives.

I use a 13’ macbook and it’s fine for me. Haven’t used others though..

ended up getting 13" macbook air top spec :smiley: all good

I’d go for resolution over screen size any day.

I’ve got a 13 inch MBP and I’m not complaining. Bigger might be better but you don’t want to create a wall between you and the crowd.
I thought: Smaller screen, more money saved, a lot more other stuff.

I use a 13" MBP. My next laptop is going to be an 11" MBA because I think 13" is too big to carry around every day, but I have a 24" display at home. I bought the MBP because the MBA didn’t have firewire, and I’ll probably upgrade to the 11" Air the day I find either a Thunderbolt Firewire interface or someone makes PCIe expansion boards that connect over Thunderbolt.

I can fit everything I need to see for Traktor or Maschine on the 13", and SSL easily fit on a 12" non-widescreen G4 Powerbook a long time ago. 11" would be fine.
