What the gwan tings laptops these days?
New Laptop recommendations
My M1 Macbook Pro has been good to me. Got it for $600 because the shit start up I worked for last year shut down and was liquidating.
Ive had a dell XPS 13 for the last year or so. It’s small, powerful and lightweight. If you’re not looking for a mac, it’s worth considering.
Also using an M1 MacBook. Never had the fans spin up despite watching Ian Beal videos in flash.
I’m still running my mid 2010 Macbook Pro, a proper beast, just the battery needs replacing.
When the time comes I’m gonna get a Huawei, I’ve a friend who won’t shut up about his.
Will it be agile enough to handle your eskimo fisting fetish though Millsy?
MacBook Pro is your friend Dave, absolute workhorse and delivers the bants with panache and elan.

what is the relaistic lifespan of an apple mac?
I bought MacBook Pro in 2013 and bought one couple of years ago because I liked the touch strip at the top of the keyboard.

If not wanting to go all out new-new I’d strongly recommend this powerhouse:
MacBook Pro 15 inch 2015 with 16gb Ram, 1tb SSD
I got the one with AMD graphics card (which has caused issues with rekordbox). But if not DJing, I’ve used it for photo and video editing and it was so far ahead of its time it is really powerful.
Considering you can pick them up used now for £700 ish it’s amazing that it never flinches.
It has all the original USB ports and a nice haptic touchpad too.
The m1 Mac would be my choice otherwise but you will need dongles for usb devices if DJing because every Mac after 2015 moved to USB-C.
MacBook Air m1. Lightning fast.
The new M2 probs looks a bit smarter
…new 16″ MacBook Pro M1 Max here. Stoopidly expensive, but working on the basis my last 3 have lasted 6 years+, can just about justify it.
Haven’t they just launched the M2 chips this week?
Might be some bargains around
Ed sent me a pic of his laptop, said he was struggling to post it on here. Apparently it’s what all the top dogs in the business use these days
