Hey cheers for that.
I’ve had a little change of heart with Mac and thinking of sticking to my instinct.
I’m looking at getting a viao instead after speaking to friends but want to be sure that other DJ’s have used non-Mac laptops that have never crashed or had a problem, when using it only for DJ’ing with.
It’d be good to assure myself with opinions of non-Mac using DJ’s that have never had a problem playing out live with their laptops using midi devices.
I was drawn towards Mac because many people say they are the most reliable laptops for the job. It’s a trustable brand that DJ’s will follow to assure themselves on reliability, but since the laptop will only be doing only two tasks;
DJ’in using traktor
VJ’in on VDJ for disco’s (very rare occasion)
I would imagine that a Sony Viao would be a better option, as I’d have to spend over a grand to get a good enough Mac. I’ll be paying for assurance of quality on a Mac when viao is probably just as reliable, although viao just hasn’t gained the reputation Mac currently has. I know the operating system is the main reason for this, but I hear that windows 7 is reliable in this context but would just like some more assurance before I go out and spend.
A new laptop is kind of like choosing a wife, u gotta find the right one before you commit!(My god that sounds cheesy as owt! I probably should have erased that bit, ah sack it!)
So yeah, I’m back between the Mac and the Viao after hearing good things about them, any comments/advice is more than welcome 🙂
