I'm looking to buy a new laptop computer for VDJ 5.0. I play alot of music videos using a projector.
I already know that I need a 256MB video card. I also have build Rack mount computers with AMD Processors.
I know alot of gammer use AMD Processors because they tell me it's fasterest than Intel.
I'm also looking at the Vostro 1500 Dell running XP with a core duo. Not sure which specs exactly.
Can anyone please recommend a laptop or can someone please advise me on this Vostro Dell.
Thanks,
DJ Frankie

No to Dell!!!!!
Ok now that that is out of the way I would suggest building a shuttle pc, its still small and you can upgrade stuff easier and cheaper than with a lappy. I run an AMD and like it even though it is a bit outdated and in my opinion I would go with an ATI video card.

I agree. No to Dell!
Also, Brian, I agree with the shuttle-building, got one myself, works good.
However, out of curiosity, what are the specs on yours, ram, VCard, HD, etc.?
I'm gettin' ready to build another one.

amd is better value for money as intel costs more because of the super expensive advert campains

I wanted a Laptop because the weight of my rackmount is crazy heavy.
My rackmount is amd dual core 2.1, 2gigs ram Nivida 7600gs 256mb and 3Hd 300gb.
Can anyone suggest a laptop name or model number for me to invest in.
I would love to get a macbook pro...but I'm trying to hold off until the vdj5.0 for mac comes out.
Why is dell no good. The video card is the same as the latest one for the mac and the amd processor looks pretty nice.
Did anyone try the dell yet?

Go with AMD. Its better than intel. The AMD is a true dual core and even though it may consume alittle more energy than Intel, it runs cooler and faster. For video, it blows away intel. here is a link about AMD vs Intel.

Im running an Acer Aspire 9410 w/intel centrino core 2 duo 1.6g processors, 2 gb ram, 120 gb hd + 500gb maxtor ext hd, gma950 chipset (224 mb shared video)17' widescreen, dual boot xp media center & xp pro for vdj5.0 with numark total control, 2 technics sl1210's, maya 44 soundcard,TCV, video multiplier running 4 - 20'' ext monitors. After correctly setting everything up the Acer lappy has been running great. I bought my lappy for $500 who paid about $750 for it new a few months ago & hardly used it. Its like new & runs good. The graphics media accelerator 950 & Intel processors handles the video well for an intergrated video card.

AMD gives better acceleration then Intel but at a higher temperature rate, Intel tends to run cooler since they don't stress the chips as much as AMD
if your trying to picture this...take an intel chip, give it steroides and you now have an AMD chip lol.
no its not really like that but the AMDs do have a slight performance edge over the Intel chips although just run at slightly higher temperatures.
For those wanting to say differently this is a whole big argument like TTs and CDs so I'm not going there but I still have yet to see ANY AMD chip drop down to a really cool 12 degrees celcius on a water cooling kit ( yes I have seen an intel get this low however)
