The majority do, but you will have no problems what so ever running the any of the dj programs on a 'normal' laptop.

in my opinion, since he doesn't have a problem with shelling out extra for a mac, it's totally worth getting a macbook

Big similar thread on this topic at the Native Instruments DJ forum:
http://www.native-instruments.com/f...ead.php?t=80949

5 years ago most Traktor users were on Windows laptops because for some reason Traktor ran a lot slower on Mac. But lately the Mac versions are good and most newer users are on Mac, although knowledgeable people are going either way.

Research laptops that are compatible with the Hackintosh project.

Download the latest Leopard install .. dual boot your laptop w/ Windows and OSX.

Profit. (over $1000).

The hackintosh discussion has been done to death on here - it completely defeats the point of owning either a mac or pc - it's the worst of both worlds.

Taking an incredibly stable OS and hacking it so it sits on lower quality components, thus making it an unstable mac, which costs less but uses crapper components.

Just get a pc or mac depending on your persuasion or budget.

anyone's opinions here will be biased most likely


use whatever operating system you're most comfortable with. plain and simple. i prefer windows.

..though the fact that soundforge isn't available on mac would drive me nuts.

It really makes no difference for both production and DJing, so long as you get the most RAM possible and a fast CPU/dual core.

I know several prominent names who DJ and produce on windows laptops.

Yes, but that is the only reason why I would recommend a mac. The thread starter is planning on only djing with the laptop as far as I can tell, in which case there is no real reason to spend more for a mac unless you've GOT to have OSX.
