I think that's hilarious.

Mind you it is endorsed by a dude called John '00' Fleming, I'm sure he's used to embarassment by now with a handle like that. :)

i have played in a club wich use the Qplay machine ,i spoke to the manager of the place ,he told me that the thing is really reliable & the support is fantastic .
i guess these guys know what they are doing , they built machines for the professionnal trade not for the wannabes ,i have taken my laptop with me in a lot of places , sometimes i wished it was a bit more solid & that the on board soundcard had more in/out to leave the external card in the studio .

i play my last dj gigs in the next 2 weeks before giving up djing , but if it had come earlier i would probably have tryed to get hold of one & see what comes out of it .

Despite what it says, i truly believe its just an average laptop in a flight case. Nothin you couldnt easily do yourself. Sure, you might not be able to run over your with a car, but then again, ive never had anything like that happen to me ever.

Interestingly the sound card is the one I use. It does the job.

Nothing you couldn't do yourself - well that's the point really: There's a definite market for this, since many can't be bothered to source touch-screens and suitcases. Just like that Mawzer midi controller: Nothing you can't build cheaper and faster(it's taken them how long?), yet ppl are still raving about it... Just goes to show that diy is dead. :roll:

maybe, but some people have better things to do with their time. :)

most of the people i know would also say i'm nerdy enough without going into amateur electronics.

i broke a gator flight case at the airport , i can tell you that if i had something bulletproof to protect my gears i would probably be a bit less stressed about traveling .
