| Tatum Ansaldo 04.04.2011 | Go for the 13" MBP and do an SSD mod. Or don't do an SSD mod, but still go for the MBP! |

| Rolanda Clodfelder 01.04.2011 |
Traktor 2
But yeah the 13' MBP would be my choice too |

| Rolanda Clodfelder 30.03.2011 | From a portability standpoint, the 11' is tasty and would have ample Juice for DJ'ing (1.6 & 128SSD, 4gb RAM) but if you are going 13' get a MBP instead, you wont regret it. |
| Neal Rayome 30.03.2011 | Why don't go for a 13" MacBook Pro? |

| Karry Sappington 30.03.2011 | try getting one with faster processor even u get lesser ram. |
| Vesta Gellis 30.03.2011 | Well, in general Airs are quite good piece of gear (extremely light, portable, not a bad performance) however it depends for what you're using it. In my opinion for DJs it's not a good choice. Mainly because it has only 2 usbs. Yes, other MacBooks have also only 2 usbs but they have firewire which is perfect for the external drive connection And believe me, if you want to be portable with your Air you don't want to mess around with an external drive. It's always better to have everything in one piece. |
