i would suggest dell inspiron series like 6400 or 9400..mate...its reliable...simple machine...a lot of serato users use it though....as far as i know hp is a little complicated.

my specs

dell inspiron 6000
1.83 ghz centrino
2gb ram dd2 @ 533 mhz
80 gb hard disk

but since 6000 is discontinued, ur next option would be 6400...do not go for the model which starts with 15 on dell..i knw a guy who is got problems on that.usb drop outs and stuff.

get a macbook or a macbook pro :) it works fine and no usb drop outs att all

thnx Maxim but that store does not sell Dell laptops... I must choose from their offer:
* Acer
* Asus
* Fujitsu-Siemens
* Hewlett Packard
* Toshiba

at0mic - I Know that Apple is great but its also costs almost double up. And as I remember MacBooks Pro still have that usb/touchpad issue ;)

thanx anyway guys

Out of all of them, I'd go with Asus.

I like the hp one dj spox I have a friend who has it and doesn't have problems with it so ....one question did the old toshiba came with vista? or XP because now you will have another problem if you get a new laptop it comes with VISTA so hope you have an oem xp disc :(
