MacBook Air to start DJing

Hello

I'm looking to buy my first MacBook ever to start DJing and wanted to seek advice from the community.

I’m going to use Rekorbox or Traktor as DJ apps and was thinking to buy MacBook Air (2017), 8GB SSD, Core i5.

Do you think the app will run smoothly or will it be too heavy? I won’t be using it for anything else and I’m planning to save my music library in an external drive.

thanks

Will GarageBand run well on MacBook Air i5 (2020)? Hi - a friend wants to buy a new Mac laptop. He's a fairly "lite" user... web, email, word processing etc. However, as he's middle-aged and worried about it, he's decided to put together a band with his buddies! I'm his go-to nerd as I'm a systems integrator, but I don't have any experience with recording studio software and it's hardware requirements. I was thinking of suggesting he buys a MacBook Air 1.1GHz Quad-Core Core i5 with 512GB Storage. Would that configuration run GarageBand capably for mixing songs recorded on real instruments? (I doubt they'll be moving to Logic any time soon.) Or does he need to consider a MacBook Pro? Should he think of adding 16gb RAM? Is GarageBand memory intensive or can he get away with 8GB? Assuming they manage to put together an album of 10 tracks, I'm assuming 512gb HD is going to more than ample. Am I right? Thanks for any insights, and front row tickets promised for the best answerer when they hit the big time!

Second Hand Mac Laptop - Rekordbox Hi, Sorry for asking a silly question, but I have never had a Apple laptop before, I have always used Windows. I want to get a cheap second hand mac pro (13 inch) to use for home djing. I don't want to spend a lot of money and it will only be used for RekordBox, Itunes and Audacity (recording software). RekordBox is the highest spec: I5/I7/I9 (2.4GH), 8mb ram and IOS 10.13/10.14/10.15 (all latest updates). I see a lot of older laptops on eBay for around £300, but will they work? I understand the CPU and ram, but confused about the IOS.....a lot of the cheaper ones state 10.13 (not updated to latest version), does that mean they can't be updated and wont work with the software.? Thanks for any advice given, don't want to spend £1`,000 just for a bit of home mixing. Thomas
