    Acer is crappy all around. So you want to be a DJ? I guess the program you're using is FL studio XXL producer edition? A laptop with 3gig ram is enough for that one, so just get one with 4gig.

    Here is what you'll need to search for in a laptop;

    Ati mobility HD 5650 (or greater).
    4gigs of ram.
    interl i5 (or greater).


    If it's mainly for online gaming a Toshiba Tecra S11-11F will be enough.

    Nah FL is producing software,

    Ill be using Traktor, or Virtual DJ. The VDJ specs are here:

    The minimum requirement to run Virtual DJ is:

    * PIII 850 MhZ computer
    * 1024x768 SVGA video
    * DirectX compatible soundcard
    * 512 MB RAM
    * 20 MB free on the hard-drive

    RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS

    The recommended configuration is:

    * PIV 3 GhZ computer
    * 1024x768 SVGA video
    * 4.1 DirectX compatible soundcard (with front and rear separate outputs)
    * 1024 MB RAM
    * 200 MB free on the hard-drive

    RECOMMENDED VIDEO MIXING REQUIREMENTS

    The recommended configuration to mix video is:

    * Dual Core 2 GhZ CPU
    * dual output ATI or nVidia video card with 1Gb of on-board memory (no integrated laptop videocard)
    * 2048 MB RAM

    i would like to mix music well, and be able to mix video.

    any different suggestions now?

    FL is everything in one to be honest. Search the laptop I posted. It's definitely enough to run those software, even a normal laptop with the price of 400dollar would be enough. I mostly based on the gaming part.
