Do I need to buy a high end gaming laptop to do karaoke? If not, please recommend needed processor speed, ram, video card requirements, sound card, operating system and whatever else I may need. The laptops I priced out online seem to be around $2400 (US). These are laptops that meet the configuration to mix video. Do I really need a laptop this powerful just for karaoke?
Thanks
Thanks

I use an ATI card with 64MB in my lappy and it works fine for karaoke.
However, if you're in the market for a new machine, you would be best served to get a high-end system (Core Duo, 2GB ram, 512 DEDICATED video ram, large, fast (7200 rpm) hard drive, for example) for best performance and to leave leeway for video performance in the future. It is the new thing on the scene, and it's catching on quickly - you don't want to be outdated before you even get going.

Opinions on this seem to vary.

I suggest MSI GX700:

Very good model, 2 year warranty.
VDJ is working better for video on Vista. I guess when Service Pack 1 comes out it will work even better ;) You can get Release Canditate from here:
