Anyone have experience with these? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Panasonic-Tou...dbb7359&_uhb=1

That eBay auction seems like a good deal... I feel a bit like it is either that or a used MBP for me - around the same price. Only clear disadvantage is lack of backlit keys and a 13" screen only which is pretty gross for using Live with... Just wondering if anyone has actually used one.

Not worth it. Absolutely not.
Unless you plan on djing on a ledge of a 5story building, and having the security that your laptop won't fail even if it falls on the ground.

You don't need an ultrabook. You pay a premium for size. It's possible to get better hardware than most ultrabooks for $600. Actually, for everything you truly "need," you can run Traktor and a DAW on a $400 pc.

Technically there IS actually one legit reason for using a Toughbook, and that's that they're waterproof No spilt drink mishaps

Although, the same thing DOES apply to IBM ThinkPads as well:

Unless you are DJ'ing in Afghanistan buy a Second Hand or Refurbished Macbook Pro.

The Toughbooks are quite amazing machines if you need something that will (genuinely) take a bullet or survive a 100ft drops, but I honestly dont believe most clubs patrons are that bad, or have dj boxes that high to warrant getting one.

Please be reasonable. Any computer you want implies there's a huge selection, that it's not limited to a MBP or Toughbook. It's obvious that if you have 900 dollars that you can't get a computer that costs more than 900 dollars.

That makes no sense whatsoever. If someone could have any computer they wanted, they would almost always choose something that costs more than $900.

I said it could buy anything he wanted. Of course it can't buy something that costs more than 900 dollars...

I never said anything about high end.
Alphonso Deitchman
30.05.2013
I wasn't the one who brought up the 900 dollars. That was you.
Gaynell Rydberg
30.05.2013
I don't know what point you're trying to make. You brought up that 900 dollars can't buy a high end machine out of nowhere...

High end is all relative anyways...
Alphonso Deitchman
30.05.2013
That's the point? You don't need a high end machine, but you also cannot get the best laptops out there with a budget of $900.

You're kidding me. 900 dollars can buy you everything you need...

$900 will not get you a decent high end Windows laptop.
Gaynell Rydberg

If 900 dollars is your budget you can buy pretty much any computer you want... why aren't you looking at Windows?

Good to know guys, might just opt for a 2nd hand MBP

Agreed with the last two posts. Not worth the cash
