asus for vdj

[techno-hed]

hey gang
i'm new to the forum. i want to get laptop to run vdj with 2 cdj400s in hid mode. the one i have in mind is a asus a52f with i3 350m cpu 4gbs of ram 320hdd and intel grahics .is this machine powerful enough or should i go for something with i5 cpu. my buget is around €600.

cheers

I use an Asus with less under the Hood than the one you have or are considering and it runs vdj flawlessly.... so I think you'll be fine... if you can swing a second generation i5 I'd go for that instead especially if you plan on running HD videos in the future.

If you are not running video its fine if you plan on running video get a laptop with a discrete video card with its own memory.

hey man
thanx for feed back. i just want to connect the laptop up to monitor while running vdj with the 2 cdj400s. will it take anything away from the performance of vdj?
i'm not going to be running videos just the vdj program.

If anything it would enhance the use of VDJ...
