It really comes down to what you intend to do with it.
There is nothing wrong with laptop DJing and ok, perhaps it doesn't look as exciting as a DJ because we haven't yet adjusted to this image of a DJ in our minds. It will come in time, think of it like this... I was born and part of my childhood was spent living in a world where a remote control for a TV had never been heard of. If you wanted to change the channel we got up and did it. In this day and age you woudln't think twice about looking at a TV remote and there are generations that just have not lived in such a world.
The same goes for our perception of a DJ.
If the DJ plays the right tracks he should be able to blow you away whatever method he uses.
If he sucks trying to mix 50 cent with Sandstorm then he would suck about 50 times worse on a set of 1210s than any laptop. Ultimately though, it's not the medium that he uses, it's his understanding of music that's at fault.
I DJ on a regular basis in clubs and from time to time you see a DJ with a lap top. Sometimes they are excellent, and sometimes they suck, just like vinyl jocks.
It all comes down to your understanding of music no matter how you want to look at it. DJing tricks can be learned through practice but music comes from within.
If you want to DJ using a lap top then by all means do so. But do consider the other options too as you may well find something that you will appreciate for the rest of your life.
Open your mind to all aspects of DJing and music.
Cheers
