Why you bought it first and ask latter???

Well all is ok for audio mixing, but SU4100 is a energy saved processor. It is not a performance one, but for save energy and also, don't very good for VirtualDJ... maybe just changing the Energy options to ALWAYS ON and tunning this system, you could go with VirtualDJ playing audio very good.

Good Luck!

PS You don't need a Mac, you need to ask first before you buy to be sure what you buy is what you need or what would work for you.
 

I wouldnt use this laptop for DJ use. I find 1.3 very low in speed. It won't be a smooth running system for DJ use. This laptop is more for the business traveler where the battery life can last a while because the processor doesnt consume alot of power. For DJ iing, i preffer 2.0 ghz duo core and higher with at least 2 gigs of ram.
