Hi guys,
I sold my Toshiba laptop to a friend, and I am looking for a new back-up laptop (I use servers for DJing) But I also want to be able to use it as a second setup for non-wedding gigs where I don't need a roadie. Virtual DJ Pro, and possibly down the road Scratch Live with the Video plug-in. Here are my 2 options right now:
ASUS
G74SX-A1 17.3" Notebook Computer (Black)
2GHz Intel Core i7-2630QM Quad-Core 12GB RAM 1.5TB (2x750GB) 7200rpm Hard Drive Blu-ray ROM with CD/DVD Burning nVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 3GB GDDR5 GPU 17.3" LED Backlit Widescreen Display Integrated Camera and Microphone Bluetooth 3.0+HS, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) 9.4 lb
$1570 Dollars
or
Apple
17" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer
2.2GHz Intel Core i7 Quad-Core 8GB (2x4GB) RAM 500GB 7200rpm Hard Drive SuperDrive AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1GB GPU 17" Antiglare Widescreen LED Display ExpressCard/34 Slot FaceTime HD Camera Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, 802.11n Wi-Fi
$2500 Dollars
I am leaning more towards the Asus 12G ram 3G Nvidia Video Card 2 750 HDs and price (almost $1000 less) But many Mac users (even non-users) are tellling me that I will never go wrong with the Mac.... any input from gurus, or either of these units user... Thanks in advance as I am very confused!!!

The best computer I've ever owned is this 17" Mac, no hard sell.
Had top of the line laptops and built many systems mb out, but I repeat...^
You can also do pretty well with refirbs from Apple, had two so far without issues.
