    As a recovering I.T. professional I agree that a MAC works better overall however it takes 8 laptops to run my business. I’d need a Home Equity loan to go with Apple

    If you downloaded Big Sir can you take it back out or are you screwed? I’m still streaming but I had to go around certain things that are not working on the Controller. Any way you can do a video on that? Also when do you stream on Twitch? I’m on Monday through Friday when kids are in school around 130pm holidays 11am @darealbillpill1 aka DJ Bilipino

    Make sure your hard drive is SSD



  4. Dusan Tesic on December 31, 2020 at 12:55 am

    Why not AMD?????????????????



  5. Mac Bryson on December 31, 2020 at 1:01 am

    MacBook Pro 16 inch 2019
    512 gb ssd //16 GB Ram.
    Flawless🔥🙏



  6. Marcus Franklin on December 31, 2020 at 1:01 am

    Hey Nick , I have a old school 2010 17 inch (bible) MacBook Pro with 8gb ram (dual core i7) running high Sierra with the current serato dj pro to my Rane setup and it works great.



  7. Rodger Myers on December 31, 2020 at 1:02 am

    You can use a I3 also



  8. George Gomez on December 31, 2020 at 1:04 am

    Great Video! Thanks you for the information…



  9. Moore 2 Music on December 31, 2020 at 1:05 am

    Very cool. Super informative



  10. Steve Mcc on December 31, 2020 at 1:08 am

    Good video, I’m sure it was hard for you not to trash PCs. I use a gaming laptop and it works great.



  11. Andrew on December 31, 2020 at 1:11 am

    VDJ is now built for the M1 chip. Just sayin’



  12. DANIEL MORENO on December 31, 2020 at 1:13 am

  13. Rodger Myers on December 31, 2020 at 1:16 am

    He’s wrong… It can work with AMD



  14. BUTT3R GAMING on December 31, 2020 at 1:22 am

  15. Rodger Myers on December 31, 2020 at 1:22 am

    You don’t have to go New….. You can buy a used one



  16. Randy Hendrix on December 31, 2020 at 1:23 am

    Great one Nick! Fire!! I’m looking for a new Laptop..BIG HELP! And thanks for not trashing PC’s..lol



  17. Lou Guzzo on December 31, 2020 at 1:25 am

    As always, killer stuff right here people.



  18. Wedding DJ Rob Soundz on December 31, 2020 at 1:25 am

    Great video as always. The only thing I suggest to add is something I’ve found very useful – a backlit keyboard. It makes it so much easier to see where you’re typing when you’re in a dark DJ booth.



  19. Dj iET on December 31, 2020 at 1:27 am

    I am an Alienware guy.. its been great for years



  20. kykev on December 31, 2020 at 1:29 am

    You’re killing it with the relevant content Nick! Keep it up. Much love from Melbourne!



  21. Silkmaster4200 on December 31, 2020 at 1:32 am

    SSD Storage also look into. HHD moving parts. Not good for bass speakers or around sound.



  22. DJ EZ3 on December 31, 2020 at 1:32 am

    Thanks for the knowledge Nick!!! What about laptop or computer for streaming with OBS ?



  23. DANIEL MORENO on December 31, 2020 at 1:34 am

  24. Dj iET on December 31, 2020 at 1:35 am

  25. Nick Spinelli on December 31, 2020 at 1:35 am

    What computer do you use to DJ? Let me see them specs below!



  26. Caleb Grayson on December 31, 2020 at 1:39 am

    Traktor and N.I. Kontrollers are compatible with macOS 11 (Big Sur) except for S4mk3.

    that Macbook Air M1 is a beast at $999. future proof.

    doesn’t even have/need a fan.

    And DJay is also compatible with
    M1 + macOS 11



  27. Dj Kris Kelli on December 31, 2020 at 1:42 am
