what kindve laptop should i get for this?
any advice on headphones or any other equipment i should get a hold of?
idk much but i do know about the styles like with vynils and cdj's and im going to be trying my hand at serato program and its tools but what kindve stuff should i start out with?

still leaves me the question of what kindve laptop i should get?

Most DJs I've seen use a mac, don't know why though. I suppose anything with good RAM but don't quote me on that

This is pretty much correct. But I'd recommend vinyl. You can't go wrong

I think mac is favoured cause a lot of music programmes tend to run better on them,plus the battery life on mac's in generally pretty damn good which is handy when playing out.

pick mac if you all about music photo and video else i would recommend windows
