Agreed U1k- I am fascinated by the tech and incorporated serato and live into DJ sets for a while.
Avatar 12:48pm
Ursula1000:

For me it's about trust and for me to DJ on a laptop, I'd need it to only run music because I'd be freaking if it crashed on me during a performance--and also the aesthetic of someone staring at the screen I don't particularly like---yet I still look at a USB and am like how can this all this fit...!
