Should i buy this laptop for Djing?
The lenovo y410p Lenovo Official Site | Laptops, Desktop PCs, Tablets, Monitors | Lenovo US
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.
i’d buy it, the specs alone are pretty good for this price but im not a big fan of the os though. and it looks nice
WHats the point of the ssd when it still has 1gb of hd lol.
@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.
My God - 'puters are cheap in the U.S!!! 
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.
Video or it isn’t true! 
Hahaha. Challenge accepted.
Good Man.
But the whole point of the SSD is to get rid of moving parts.. lmao
Right. But sometimes you still need more storage space. SSD is still expensive compared to a spinning disk. This gives you the best of both.
This would be way more than you need. I bought a T400 ('08-09 model) Thinkpad model off eBay for less than 200 and it is a workhorse of a DJ computer. You don’t need much.
You put your programs and operating system on the ssd and your pictures and movies and other files on the hdd. The programs load faster/run better because they’re on the ssd, and you have more storage space for files without spending tons on ssd storage space. It’s standard practice these days until ssds get much cheaper.
Lol I understand people I just dont see the point!
SSD to me is to get rid of moving parts altogether. Thats just my 2cents.
To the majority (?) of people Its about speed, they couldnt care less if it had more moving parts so long as its faster 
..
Although its also about money …
whacking the same about of SSD storage in that laptop’s would bring it up another $600-700. Which would certainly not make it as attractive a purchase given that the majority (?) of people they will never hit the bottleneck of speed in normal use,
However they would notice that the system boots super fast and Ram (or lack of) becomes less of an issue in order for run things smoothly as VM is running off the (admittedly tiny) SSD.
Or you can have the ssd like in the macbook air and get an external HD for 100 bucks and have no moving parts and a laptop that should last ages.
How is that any different than just spending the extra cash upfront to get both inside of your laptop? You also don’t need to carry around extra stuff. You can replace a laptop ssd/hdd that fails really easily in the off chance either fails.
