Sujet: Surprising results from low spec notebook
As I need to work away, and have annual leave booked, I decide I would not take any of me three laptops (work, music and music backup) but instead buy a really cheap notebook and install my vpn client and team viewer and remote desktop to my clients and works systems

The meager spec....
14 inch full hd
8gb ram
Intel celeron n42 1.1gjz
256gb ssd
Intel 600 graphics

Unbranded machine total cost £249

After setting up all my remote access stuff I got the urge to install vdj, expecting it to be unusable

Now here the point, within 10 minutes I had downloaded and installed vdj and to my surprise, it was playing tracks glitch free, slightly excited at how well it was working, I grabbed my unbranded spare audio interface and the dennon drivers,...

Again windows 11 picked up the driver for the audio interface and I configured it for main out, setting the inbuilt audio to headphones, all working great

So technically speaking l, I could actually dj on hardware that cost less than the software lol

So this just goes to show, In a world of bloatware, and often badly written apps, the care and attention the developers take optimise vdj is astounding

I have no affillation to vdj apart from being a long time user and have to say I did not realise all those years ago, that this would be the best value piece of software I have ever owned

Big thank you to the team and if course everyone I the forums who help so many people

I still have my original GPD Pocket 1 with an Intel Atom processor. Used it for years 3 to 4 nights a week running video out, remote connection and a controller (usually MCX8000 or DJ2GO2) connected. The CPU sat at 80% but it just ran sweet as anything with not a single issue.

It is amazing that a powerful program like VDJ uses so few resources and apart from realtime stems will pretty much run on anything.
