I use Ms. Pinky VST to DJ.
I am wanting a dedicated (cheap) laptop that can handle just two tracks open in Ableton with pinky VST on them both.
Will the AMD E series processor handle this? With 4GB RAM?

Never heard of the VST in question but the PC you have detailed looks "okish". I'm personally (and it is a personal thing) not a fan of AMD processors, especially for audio tasks. No concrete reason I just have had issues with something or another on AMD based machines over the years.
I dont know much about the AMD E series but something suggests that just by the size and look of the PC it would be a little on the slow side.
I would much more recommend an i5 or i7 processor.
What do you currently use as a desktop to run the setup you have?

I agree. Keep in mind many lower price laptops are built to consume less power like the AMD E series. With Windows 8 out look for better laptop bargains on systems with W7.
