I think its time for computer makers to make laptop designed specifically for DJing like gaming computers.

Love your passion!

Thank you Digitaldjtips!!!

Really important for me on a Dj Laptop: 15 inches or bigger bright screen Backlit keyboard Core i5 at least (core i7 ideal) Dedicated graphic card (video dj) Tons of conectivity (4 usb ports for me) Big memory capacity 1tb storage for music and documents in general and separate hard drive for the software, OS and things like that. This is my list for a pro laptop to be used as a professional Video DJ.

I'm 42 and have decided to take Djing back up again. I've bought mysekf a controller and I am loving it. Have just been using my iPhone and streaming music. Decided that getting a laptop and unlocking the full features out of my controller. On that note, this video was perfect for helping me in what laptop to buy

I just bought my controller cuz its was alway a intrest of mine to dj and i bought youre book as well thank you and i well be following your channel.

1) Ensure you have at least 4gb ram (does not matter if it's ddr 3 or 4) 2) At least a 256 gb SSD (I suggest Samsung Evo) 3a) Intel core i3 5th gen or i5 3rd Gen or above ( for Intel lovers) 3b) AMD A8 or AMD ryzen (for AMD lovers) 4) For Video djing I suggest a dedicated gpu at least Geforce GTx 750 or AMD radeon R7 for full hd. 5) Use the laptop for djing only. 6) Never install updates if the OS is stable. 7) Check for reviews before buying a laptop. 8) Do not install a 3rd party antivirus, windows defender is sufficient. 9) Do not install applications that you do not require. 10) Always take a backup!!!!!!

I5, 15.6 inch, 8GB ram, 1TB is the all-around spec! It's my personal PC. Running windows on performance mode! I produce and game on it also! =) (It's a Dell Inspirons 3543)

Most software will work out on older laptop too but then be sure to use the 32bit software version instead of the 64bit version software, Serato and Recordbox, i use them both and i had problems with the 64bit software versions, downloaded the 32bit versions and its all working great, run them both on a Dell (no SSD) and HP (SSD. Great vid btw, really useful info, thank you :)

Great , no nonsense , VERY informative... well for me.. I’m new to this... wish me luck. This channel should definitely help!

I used an AMD processor with Serato DJ and it worked great, I switched to Rekordbox DJ and an Intel i3 processor and that one worked great. Clean up your laptop when you buy it, make it a DJ only laptop and you will be fine. Watch out for sales, a new model comes out the old one gets a little cheaper.

As ever fantastic Thanxs

Get a SSD in your computer period trust me!

Hi phil and crew. Love the channel. In market for new laptop 2021. Thinking of amd cpu currently running rekordbox with ddj1000. Cant deceide between amd cpu or i5 etc.

Being a DJ has always been a dream to me but you guys have made it clear to me,,,now am one week old dj,, 💪💪 and I think MacBook pro screen might be good

Card reader is important if u have one, I DJ off a SD card, pretty much as fast as a SSD if u run out of space

Hello Phil what is the best specs on the macbook pro for Djing? i am using macbook pro 2016 with ram 8gb i5 256gb ssd.

my mac has worn out usbs so its time to retire my macbook pro.What to get next.

Hi I'm after some advice. I'm getting my son, some pioneer ddj400 For Christmas he is 9. He currently has a chormebook can you use recordbox on a Chromebook? If not what buget laptop would you recommend??

Once when I was using serato the songs would freeze on loading for like 15 secs and then the wave forms would load really slow like 45 secs + any ideas what the issue could of been? It's a quite old laptop Toshiba Satellite with an i5 and 8gb ram? I'm thinking maybe it's just old and worn out

I use a 13inch Dell 5000 touchscreen laptop SSD with a DDJ 800. It folds over and sits at the top of the DDJ at 45 degrees so it's like having an XDJ screen but bigger. Also means I can see the crowd instead of having a laptop in my line of sight which I hate.

What about the iPad Pro 3rd gen ?

Please explain what the laptop stand in your video is? You said lorein will tell us in the coments but where?

I have a MacBook Air from 2010 and it works with serato lite really well but it just can’t deal with fx whenever I twist the nobs on my pioneer sb3 it just gives up and stops playing what cheap laptop should I get idm if it’s Microsoft or Mac I’m a beginner but I need 1 HELP!!

Thanks Phil

So I couldn't find the link to the laptop stand....

What the best dj software to use

Would a Chromebook C8715-1W run traktor DVS control vinyl? It's driving me mad as cant find an answer.

Could you recommend a decent laptop that’s a reasonable price

I’m trying to get into DJing could you please tell me what laptop is best I would like to mix mashup and produce music but Apple products are out of my budget could you recommend one for me

I have a numark mixtrack pro fx dj controller. What woul be an affordable laptop?

Please on how to connect headphone to your laptop

What best stand for laptop computer to buy

Hey DDJT just wondering would a 2.4-3.2 ghz processor , 256gb ssd, 8gb ram laptop be enough? All I can really afford right now to spend on a laptop

How about a 12 inch MacBook ?

Core i5/i7 2.5/4.0ghz 6/8gb of ram and 1TB hard drive windows 10 would do me lol.

If your a bit tight on cash, go for an older used corporate grade laptop. I got a Dell Precision which has an 8 core i7, 16GB ram, a 256gb SSD, and a GeForce graphics card with 2GB dedicated RAM. Installed win7 pro and dedicated the laptop just for DJ use. Its super quick and very reliable. £1,100 laptop for now approx. £250.

For 250 bucks I got a refurbeshed laptop that runs great dell with intel i5, 12gb ram, and 256ssd. It’s older 2013 model but runs serato pro with my dj sb3 perfectly.

What pioneer make is on the table?

I always reccomend going with something with 6gb of ram at least...windows 10 64 bit takes up almost 2 full GB of ram just by running! So 4 gb only leaves you with about 2 that you can actually use 6 GB gives you plenty! (I used to work at best buy. Would never let somebody buy a laptop with a full 64 bit windows with 4 GB of ram)

for recording video mixes and on my old mac you couldnt record video onto the drive you were playing from .Also i have a very large collection of video much of it hd.A new computer with a large internal drive or even two would be great .I dont care about size as long as its fast and powerful.I need something that will last as long as my mac did which was fro 2011 to 2019.Its still ok for other stuff but not dj work..

Will these specs work? Dell Inspiron 17 5000 Series 5770 17.3" Full HD Laptop - 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8550U Processor up to 4.0 GHz, 16GB Memory, 256GB SSD + 2TB HDD windows 10

Getting into the craft now full-time for the past three years. What I've found in the industry that the more experienced DJs who I look up to and sometimes get an opportunity to play alongside ends up 'PC shaming'. Since this Black Friday I've purchased a 2017 MacBook Pro after a long time of saving and will now be making that switch from my Dell laptop to a MacBook. I've been quite lucky tho in that time since I've been doing this full time, I have my own radio show now on a baseball commercial radio station and have now been making a living from doing what started out as a hobby for me 😀

Im useing old laptop a dual core processor but i use ssd 250 harddrive and 6 gb ram,can i still perform smootly on rekordbox performance mode or serato dj pro please help me.Should i buy a new one or still use my old laptop?

Do I need a computer for my Dj controller can you do it without one or not?

all my drives on a new laptop will be ssds.

Your mic keeps cutting out.

The 💯 th comment ❤️

Do any DJs use PC?

This is a fact

I have 600,OOO songs,videos, and karaoke files on an external Hard Drive. What size of Ram should I have on my laptop?

Techno tony is the dj pony would iv had my laptop computer 💻 👩‍💻 years old and I've been a dj and what is top tip dj 100 vurgaly dj windows 10 hp computer

You need a good laptop,, At least an i7 8gig min Seen system requirements for serato,, very heavy,, macbooks are to expensive..

Ssd are prohibitive

make more of this but more specific. VDJ has now instant stems...the point here is, even vor DJs not doing video, that the grafix cards become more important. Instant stems in VDJ are MUCH more speedy calculated if there is a CUDA supported grafix is in place, means must be Nvidia minimum GTX9.x. As result the gaming laptops are getting more important for DJs. Due to th lack of marketing it would be anyway important to see more about VDJ. It is underrated due to the old meaning about it and combinded with the close to no marketing of Atomix about their develeopment, I was shocked about this as my opinion of VDJ was, due to no knowledge, based on the old stuff....ugly GUI, terrible sound...all of this is HISTORY. Worth to talk about it as VDJ is THE software that makes a DJ independend of the hardware. Works perfectly with whatever....a clear seperator to the competition!

You get what you pay for. Go cheap and expect low quality. Expect crashes with a cluttered computer. Use your laptop just for music!

Didn’t learn anything....

I personally don’t like apple

Listening 5 minutes and getting sleepy. So much unnecessary information about who’s watching and etc... :/

Windows sucks for multimedia

WORD OF WARNING. SURFACE PRO I5 128GB SSD 4GB RAM 2017 MODEL. I bought this to run Serato pro. The specs fit it well. I'm now ON MY 3RD WARRANTY REPLACEMENT MACHINE. I don't think for one minute that all 3 left the factory with the same fault. The only conclusion I can make is that it isn't suitable to run the software. DO NOT BUY. The machine crashes then gets stuck in a loop whereby you cannot diagnose/repair/restore or reset to factory settings.....

Too many adlibs and 'off topic' tangents. Short bitesize videos would be better
