hi i want to use vdj for mp3 ith timecode vinyl but am trying to get the cheapest laptop that will do the job properly i want to run a few effects and samples. im not sure weather to go with the intel celeron models as i here that even a 2ghz celeron ill be poor is this true?
and do i have to go as far as a 2ghz core 2 duo? im aware i will have to stack it out with at least 2gb ram. i just wondered what you guys use so i dont have to lug a desktop around with me
cheers all

what is your budget ??
i am not too sure what kinda units to recommend without a budget
is this a hobby ?
you will have to get a model that fits your budget , if you will do video , you will require a good graphics card
since you will have Vista i would recomend at least 3 gb of ram ...... any store bought (non custom) unit will require some tweaks when you get it home..... it will be loaded with default barf ware and running way too many processes .....
one of the stickies above is all about tweaks for music in general and vdj in particular , so lotsa good free help available here

I am using a dell laptop that i bought from the dell outlet. they sell certified referbished laptops cheap and they sell very fast. I bought a Inspiron 1501 for 529 with AMD turion 64 x 2 2.0ghz 1 gig of ram and a 256mb video card. I bought another one months later as a back up. A inspiron 1521 same specs as the first but this one has 2 gigs of ram. I paid 529 . It comes in New condition and you can add warranty on top if you want. They have other latops even cheap than what i paid for around 400 and higher...
The best to buy are the ones that say certified refurbished

as long as she likes my trailer and Pabst .... she's a good , ergonomic unit .....
ergonomic means ......feels good when you use it ??
welp , back to compu speak.......a certfied used might be okay.......here's my hideous advice , you may not like it .....i'm not thrilled at the idea of anyone using a used dell inspiron .......
if you get any certified used lappy , at least take 'er home , tweak 'er up a bit ( you know , candle light and Pabst ) install 5.1 oops i meant 5.0.7 , tweak 'er out some more ...... ( practice safe tweak ) , then use 'er at home only ( no gigs) with passionate abandon .......for a week or so , and only then go live .....

400 actually gives you a decent range on USED laptops. surprisingly, VDJ aint a huge resource using computer unless you use video, etc...
minimum is 512 ram, 1.2ghz processor plus guessing, etc
all in all, to USE the program, any computer you buy today will be fine. Best way to do it if you have some laying around, install the demo on the computers...
i have one on my old dell 2.4 ghz pen. 4 still (laptop) and a copy on my hp 1.7ghz celeron... works fine with 2 turntables imo
