Laptop as second production computer

[mlclmdxxx]

I am looking to buy a laptop to take around with me and my Push so that I can work on my beats away from home, as I'm not at home for most of the day. I will also use it to DJ using Traktor Pro 2, connected to a range of DJ equipment.

I was looking at high end laptops, but I'd really rather not spend too much money on one at the moment. I'd rather upgrade my existing desktop as it'll be cheaper and better for mixing and mastering.

This being said then, what sort of spec would suit me for a laptop to just run Ableton and to have Traktor Pro 2? Would it be worth me buying a used or refurbed MBP? Never been much of a Mac user as I think they're overpriced, but prepared to consider it, if I find the right deal.

I have some ideas, but I'd like to hear what people on here think.

Any fairly recent Apple laptop from the last few years will be more than enough to run Traktor and Live on the go, doesn't have to be a MBP, even regular MacBook will work.

I'd like to avoid paying Mac money where possible though lol!
