Every serious DJ Melbourne in Victoria Australia should have a laptop. However, there is always confusion about which laptop is best for a DJ. The truth is that most modern laptops will do the job fine. DJ software isn’t demanding against today’s laptop specifications. However, this does not mean that all laptops are suitable for DJs. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a DJ laptop.

Screen size

A DJ uses the laptop to see important information. If the DJ cannot see the information because the laptop’s screen is too small, he will never be comfortable playing music with it. Laptops are meant to be sat right in front of unlike what DJs do. DJs stand back and look at them at a distance. If you are a glass wearer, you should choose a laptop with a big screen size that will enable you to see.

Number of USB

Being a wedding DJ Melbourne in Victoria Australia means that you are employed by the bride and the groom and you have to play what they want. This means they can come with a flash disc with the songs they want you to play, you will also need to plug your mouse and probably your own flash disc into the laptop. You should, therefore, buy a laptop with at least 3 functional USBs. Some laptops only have two.

Screen resolution

Screen resolution is very important when choosing a DJ laptop. Most 13 inch laptops have 1280 x 800 which is okay for Serato but not quite okay for Virtual DJ and Traktor. You can move up to 15 inches with a resolution of 1280 x 800. You can also go for a resolution of 1440 x 900 to get more space to play with. Other things to consider when choosing a DJ Melbourne laptop in Victoria Australia are the capacity of the hard drive, the RAM, screen brightness, battery life and the size and weight. You should also consider the quality of the body.
