You're going to have nothing but problems using the Intel Graphics video card. You need a PC with a dedicated video card.

Ignore this guy^

Well partially, He right the Intel4000 cards (or any intel card) wont work. they dont have the power you require.. Buying a PC is a craps shoot. but with worse odds. So sure buy a PC with a dedicated video card and then another and then another until you find one that works until you do a windows or driver update and everything gets all fucked and your back to square one again.

Or you could buy a Mac (must be 15") with a dedicated video card (of which apple only offers one currently store.apple.com) and it will work 1st try and every try for years to come.

If you want to save a buck or 2 but have to replace the computer sooner you can get a refeb from the last couple of years. Again only 15" macs have dedicated video card and dont bother getting one with less than 8 GB of ram. Also to note ll Retina Macs are NOT upgradeable, so find the most expensive one you can afford and the the model above that one, eat kraft dinner for a month and be much happier in the long run knowing you bought the best machine possible todo the job you want it to do.

did you really just tell him to go from a Mac to a Pc for video Dj'ing...with Serato...WTF?....

Please take Code:E advise lol...You could probably still sell your current MBP and get a decent return to put towards a new MBP with a dedicated video card....

Code E by PC I mean Personal Computer, not Windows necessarily. Mac laptops are PC's, but yeah some people do think of Windows ONLY when they think of the term PC.

No, no no, so much no. The common definition of PC is Windows based computer.
