Of course I have no idea how easy it would be to transition from vinyl to the platters on such a device.

It wouldn't be any harder than switching over to CDJs really. Yes the Xponent does not feel exactly the same as an 800/1000, but it's the same general idea that shouldn't hinder you more in any way.

cant believe no one has mentioned traktor. sound quality is completely shit through the torq software. incredible through traktor. just download the traktor keymap file and your away.

the xponent wont work on xpsp3 which caught me out. but once you set it on xpsp2 or vista its rock solid. all this crashing is people trying to run it through a shite pc. you have to know a good bit about pcs to set it up properly because "out of the box setup" is laughable.

Torq + XPonent != DVS

Of course. I guess it didn't come out right when I typed it.

I'm comfortable enough around a Windows based PC. The day job involves maintaining a small, 25-node Windows network via Active Directory, so I should have the requisite skill set.

Also, I'm assuming that any modern laptop should have enough hardware (dual core CPU, 2GB of RAM) to run these mixing programs, right?

Yes of course... traktor has been around since the late 90's, any modern laptop is waaaay more than enough.

32-bit Vista drivers, but with anything Microsoft, your mileage may vary.

I wonder if Torq would run on this little gem?

I think there's a vid on YouTube where Torq is running fine on it, spec-wise/performance-wise.

But I'd highly suggest against it with a screen that size.

True, that is not much LCD real estate!

The best way to do it would be to view the playlist full screen and then switch back to standard view or full screen waveform if you want.

My sister has a Dell 700m. I think it's a 12 in. and I still found it tough to use.

I will probably end up with an entry level Dell XPS or Studio series laptop, as we tend to consume most of our media via the Internet. We don't pay for satellite or cable TV service, so most of the programming we watch is via DVD or .avi. I just know what will happen: we'll get a shiny new notebook, and the wife will love the wirelessness and the portability so much that I'll get to use it for mixing about 2 days a month. Sooo, perhaps I should look around for a cheap, portable, backup solution in the event that she pwnz me and confiscates the main notebook. Maybe an entry level Inspiron will do much better.
