Have you followed the steps in this article to optimize your computer for use with Serato DJ Intro?
Link > serato.com

Follow those steps and you should have your computer set up properly for djing!

As far as recommending a computer, we prefer Macbook Pros, but have a look through this Laptop buying guide and you should be able to narrow down your decision! Link > serato.com

Try optimizing your computer using the first link and let me know how you get on :)

Did you check out Serato's computer recommendation/minimum specification guide before you purchased?

What new computer did you buy? Can you please list your specs?
