Laptop Win7

Hello

I am going to buy laptop, I would like to use it for dj'ing. Iam not going to buy mac's its too expensive. So bassicly I need soundcard with two outputs? but I guess I will have to buy external hardware? Could you recommend solid laptop for around 500-600 euro plus what extra hardware I need to actually dj with external mixer.

Ive used a windows 7 laptop for DJing at home now and then and never had any big problems.

I recommend something at least 2ghz or over and at least 2 gb of RAM to keep everything smooth when your DJing.

For outputs i would look into an interface like the Numark DJ/IO, i have that and would def recommend it for its price and ease of use. It lets you do 2 outputs right into the mixer easily.

As far as a laptop price and model, im not sure but i use a Sony Vaio, and it holds up decent. Prob around 500 US dollars for the one i have. Just shop around ya kno?

Going to buy a Win7 laptop for my sister this or next week. I'm looking at these two options and I think they'd suit your needs pretty well:

Acer Aspire 15.6" Intel Core i3-350M 2.26GHz Laptop (AS5741-5979)

or

MSI 15.6" Intel Core-I 5 430M 2.26GHz Laptop (A6200-216CA)

I don't know what is the availability of these models here you live but I'd search for something along thee lines if not looking to spend too much money.
