I was looking at this www.bestbuy.com and it's pretty expensive for what it is. I couldn't help but to think how cool it would be to run serato on a tiny 4.5 inch screen. People would hardly even notice it sitting in your setup.

Even if you "headphone dj" instead of "waveform dj" it would be difficult to search or to select a songs on that computer specially from at least 2~3 feets away.

ehhh i guess, with some practice i think it wouldn't be too bad but i have good eyes. If it sat right obove my mixer and i had a usb mouse i'd have no problem.

thats funny, i was just at bestbuy this past weekend and was fooling around with that turd. it is impossible to see anything or do anything on it. I visited this forum on it and almost killed myself because i could read any posts or select anything. i say, 2 thumbs down.

Well now we have it, someones used it and its utterly useless. Thanks for the heads up, & killing the dream of a tiny ass computer for serato. Oh well my vaio's only a 13" screen that weighs 4lbs. I can't complain much, it's pretty small itself.

I actually have one of these...its pretty cool but it is small. I got a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for it and its not that bad (I hate the keyboard on it) but I don't use it for serato normally...its just a novelty to dj with it. It is, however, great for my karaoke gigs.
Also...the dock is exactly the same size as a portable laptop sized usb hard drive...so I took a 160gb laptop sized external and attached it to the bottom of the dock with velcro and now whenever its docked its basically 200gb.

Thats pretty cool about the docking station. How hard is it to read what tracks you are selecting in serato?

Well...I type really fast...so I tend to do searches that narrow it down to the point where I don't really have to look...I do like to watch the waveforms because I'm a shitty dj...and I don't have a big problem seeing them.
