Buying a new laptop to run DDJ-RB and have found a laptop but wanted some advice.
Spec below.

@Adam > That's a very "economy" laptop - as @Tord says, seek out an i-series processor (at least an i5 to give you a few years of use), and any computer being sold with less than 8GB of RAM isn't even worth looking at.
The solid-state drive will offer one of the best performance-improvements-per-dollar you can spend, so consider that as well, you'll be glad you did.

Hi,
Both the CPU- and memory specifications are sub-optimal for Rekordbox DJ. They are however fine for Rekordbox in Export mode.
At a very minimum, make sure the CPU is Intel i5 or better, and at least 8 GB of memory (to avoud excessive use of swap).
.. and last but not least - choose an SSD drive.
Thanks for the advice it’s really appreciated. Just ended up going for this HP
