I’ve been DJ-ing on my old laptop and using it for my school works too. I’ve been wanting an upgrade for more than 2 years now but haven’t had the budget to do so. I really feel like my current laptop is hindering me from DJ-ing better. I really hope and wish to have a great upgrade like that. Thank you! Been a fan ever since and was fortunate enough to meet you during Manila X. So much love to you man!
You both did awesome work and we really appreciate it! Your feedback as well as all the comments from your communities will definitely factor into future product plans. Thanks for helping us improve! // Ray
Right now I'm using an iPad. My laptop broke during the covid19 pandemic and as you know there's not much work these days so money to fix my old laptop or buy a new laptop is just not easy to come by. I could really use this so I'm ready to go back to work earning a living as the lockdowns lift. It would truly be a God send. Times have been hard on us all. So I truly truly need this. It looks amazing. Thank you
I really love all of your videos , because I can tell how much you love everything you do, and how much effort you put in order to be clear and truthful towards all of us. I hope one day I would be a great DJ like you ! Thank you 🙏🏻
This laptop would be the piece to help me bring my DJ abilities to the next level. I’ve been looking into a laptop for a while and this one is just beautiful.
I'm glenn from las pinas Philippines When i was 15 i want to be come a dj like you.. una kitang nakita sa sa youtube jan 23 2016 ung remix mo po ng roses With vince cabrera subrang na amazed ako sabi ko i want tobe like you .. but I realized na parang imposible kasi walang magulangan na susuporta pero pinag patuloy ko padin nag apply ako sa sound system para maabot ung gusto ko gawin un po ung maging dj kagaya mo pero hindi madali subrang hirap kaya napunga ako sa lightning division kinalimutan ko na ung pangarap na maging dj balang araw ... Until nakita ko to at pinanood ko baka hindi pa huli ung lahat baka pwede pa kaya salamat po sir carlo kasi nag bibigay kayo ng motivation sa katulad ko.. sana po mapansin nyo ung comment ko nangangarap lang din po ako kahit wala akong kakayahan makabili ng gamit ...
I’m a beginner Dj, just bought my first Dj controller and been trying to figure out what Laptop to get and watching your review helped me and I think this laptop will be great for me if I won one.
I remember living in San Diego in the early 90’s -2003. I specifically remember BT spinning on his laptop at this really small club off Hancock Street DT San Diego. Must have been between 1999-2001. Anyways it was really innovative for the time and he was the only one doing it.
I really really want to win this because I want to practice all the cool Djing things you have taught till now and this laptop is an amazing choice. I hope I can play well at my first gig.
passion for djing for years, keeps me going to learn from great djs like Carlos. Someday i will make it my day job and this type of laptop can do a world of good towards that. Cheers to Carlos and the dj community in general!
i have been DJing with laptop since i can remember, I have never had the money to own a xdj or another standalone, and the laptop has always been an important part of my life. It's not the first time i get kicked out of the dj booth for my old and not trusty laptop. So i'm glad that at least DJs like us have an incredible product and it's not the typical expensive macbook. I hope one day i can get my hands in one of these because it's really worth the effort. Excellent review 10/10
My laptop is damaged from wear and tear from DJing college dorm parties. But now that I’m out of college, I’m doing different events. I got summer weddings coming up and definitely needing a new laptop where it won’t shut off in the middle of a party
@@djcarlo by the way, I took a hiatus from IG and FB as I’m doing a weight loss challenge, but I have subscribed to you here. Thanks for all the wonderful advice you’ve given. I’ll keep practicing 💯
Great review! I’ve been using my Mac for 8 years and it is crashing. I would love to win this laptop to avoid losing any work as things start opening back up. Either way, love the content. Keep it up!!!
I need this laptop because since Covid started, my kids have been doing digital learning at home. That means my Dj laptop is now needed for school work. It was an obvious choice to make, but still sucks just the same. Thanks for all you do for Dj community. Especially new Dj’s like me.
Would a laptop with these specs work to DJ? 11ᵗʰ Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11390H Windows 10 Pro (Dell Technologies recommends Windows 11 Pro for business) Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics 16 GB Memory 512 GB SSD 15.6-in. display (1920X1080)
Starting to DJ, would like to have this to rebuild the dance community especially the social dance one where I be teaching people how to social dance and form connections with each other, this will help big time!
if i do serato dj suit with vdj windows laptop what should be the system configation i have asus rog strix g17 16gb ram 1tb ssd 6gb graphic and nvidia 2050 , refresh rate 144hz intel i7 10th gen windows 11 plzzzzzzzz rply 🙏
I really needed a laptop for begin as a Dj and a producer, I've been saving for past 3 years and since i don't have a well paid job, i couldn't afford to buy one till now. I hope you see this comment and give a helping hand ❤️ you're a inspiration for me for being a dj.
I depend on my DJ gigs to support myself financially. I have been having storage issues and need new space for music 😭 this would change everything for me.
So does carrying around an external hard drive not work? I dont really DJ other than having fun at home, so I always envisioned I could just load up an external over time and use that.
I have been Djing as a hobby since last year with my DDJ 400. However, since I'm still a student, I can only DJ with my old Acer Laptop, which works but it does have a bit delay. I have been dying to get a new laptop for Djing, people said Macbook was good until I saw this video. Seems the XMG functions perfect together with my DDJ 400! It would be an honour to win this competition! Thank you DJ Carlo for hosting this giveaway and inspirinh me to DJ with more skills!!!
I started to play and mix for other people at January and the only issue that I have is my Laptop. My laptop is falling apart and at this moment I dont have the money to fix this. Thanks for all the content!
I need one bec my pc lags and it won’t play any songs. ): I don’t have Instagram so I can’t win. I just wanna be a DJ like you. I wanna make music too but I know it’s hard to pick a winner so I’m fine if I don’t win.
I would love to give this to my dad who's also a dj like you and me. He taught me everything that I know about being a dj and I want to give back. He has been using my old 2010 laptop and it has been running slow. Wishing everyone goodluck! stay safe! 🤞
I really want to win this because I love DJing but currently can’t afford a laptop because of the pandemic but I’m not going to make up a whole sad story I would absolutely love to win because I am trying to DJ but I don’t have a laptop and everyday I dream of playing in front of big crowds your a great person and you do great things keep going ❤️
I would love to win this laptop as I'm just starting out as a DJ and my teeny tiny good for nothing lappy is broken , I see everything through a cracked screen LOL...I cannot afford a new one right now. And I just love your videos! 🤗
Honestly, the 2012 MacBook Pro one is ideal because you can switch out multiple conponents. Only limitation is the software may no longer be compatible with the hardware. Otherwise, the 2015 retina generation is good, but overall, the best would be the M1/2 ones
I am a beginner and I really need this laptop. For the first time I am now a resident DJ in a super club. I need this kind of laptop because my laptop is very old and can't afford a new one because of financial problem. I am saving money because I am a college student and at the same time to rent a laptop for a gig. Even though I am a beginner I don't want to ruin my set because it disappoints the crowd. Hoping for a laptop like this sir carlo!
Very cool. I have tried so many times, following people, signing up for classes , referring people you name it. I have given up. I never win. It would be nice. Thanks
I would love to win this laptop as my old one is almost a garbage now. And I can't afford a new one. I want to become a successful DJ one day. Thank you!
Hey carlo, i have been DJ'ing on my DDJ-800 for about 1 to 1,5 years now, and my current janky laptop is basically on its last legs. Its buffering constantly and it messes up my sets. As a (nearly) broke college student this would definitely be a welcome gift.
It is over when we decide to stand-up, drop the mask & carry on. We are now over a year into a 15 day flatten the curve shutdown... When we all stand up, the game is over.
On the contrary - we created this machine to make your life easier if you don't know your way around tweaking Windows, which is going to be very true if you've worked with Macs your whole life. As a fellow reviewer, I actually really respect Carlo flat out admitting that he's not a super-nerd about this. He represents a large portion of our target audience, so I appreciate that he's happy with it. // Ray
@@chadnliz2k11 I'm sure sponsored videos also have the product manager himself answering hundreds of comments individually on every single review without replying on copypasta. I mean, that's a clear indicator of a company that just throws money at a content creator and doesn't care what happens next :) For the record, we did not pay Carlo or any other reviewer who looked at the DJ 15 for their work. Check out DJCity's Mojaxx or Crossfader's James had to say. Pri yon Joni did a review as well, and Cleveland Terry's review is in the works. We don't have any editorial control over those - all we ever do is provide a fact check when tech specs are being discussed. // Ray
I love that it is for DJ software and it has all requirements for any DJ software. Since I love to record my mix's, it would come in handy and run good without any hick ups
Okay.....so when l wanted to start a career in DJing, all attempts to get a teacher failed. And then l decided to go online to "search" l dont remember what l typed in though but all l wanna say is you are the very first DJ RUclips recommended to me and l have been following your tutorials ever since, No teacher physically and l have been able to master the art of mixing by just watching and practicing what you teach. This laptop would really boost my confidence since it would prove my efforts wasn't a waste of time 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi the Problem with windows are the drivers you have to be very careful with it and i dont know when you go online you need a Internet Security or Similar ?? What about Programs from the Internet you can Install everything without hesitation or??
Hey DJ Carlo....the reason why I wanna win this laptop is that when I use the laptop I am using right now, during the DJ it gets stuck and also the music. So I would like to win this laptop.
Really important question! If it was already answered, then fair I’ll get. But, can I also produce and compose? I want a PC for my stand-alone music. Live sets and production. Serato, Pro-Tools, Reaper, Audacity, on the same unit but not running at the same time. Live all I need is my dj software, but putting all that on a comp can bring it down, even when I’m only using it live, and there is NO excuse for lag or flubs. Can this work as a stand alone unit and still do what I need it to do it, when I need it to do it????
I haven't tried putting all of them in, but based on the laptop's specs, it should be able to do it! Unfortunately, this model is currently out of production, but they're working on a follow up to it!
Thanks for the fast reply, still looking for stand alone computers specifically designed for what I need it to do. Dj, production on the fly when I’m not at home in our home studio. My wife and both produce but at two totally different ends and genres. We keep running into clogging up our computers because they’re basic computers. Any tip into the right direction would be very much welcomed. Also thank you for doing what you do, your tutorials, break downs and reviews have very much been a huge help for me over the last view years. I stopped doing live shows and producing in 2005 and got back in a few years ago. A lot has changed but not really. Thanks for all the help bridging the gap. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Well... After 33 years in the oilfield I was laid off! Due to Covid the oilfield is a mess! I decided to go into business for myself and I wanted to do something I enjoyed. So I chose something that involved music. At 52, learning to be a DJ ought to be a hoot! I could use all the help I can get! A nice laptop would go a long ways. Thanks, Mark.
My wife DJs and adds karaoke to her services which is why we've stayed away from Mac (way more karaoke software for windows). Sometimes she'll stream a Zoom karaoke show. 1. Is a camera in the screen for zoom? 2. I see it's streamlined to keep audio and USB latency optimised, but my experience with windows is this stuff doesn't last. A Malwarebytes scan can wake up and sabotage a show. Do they offer anything to keep it optimised long term?
My laptop is absolute trashhh it sometimes freezes in the middle of a gig😯 and i feel like my audio is distorted when I scratch😞 This laptop would be GAME CHANGER! Love your work Carlo
I am an upstart finally exploring a long time desire to be a DJ. I have recently been looking tirelessly for a laptop to fit my DJing needs. I've even recently returned hardware that was not compatible (super headache). This laptop would be a huge help to advancing my career as a DJ. Your videos are always helpful too!
I want to win this laptop because I share my current laptop with my fiancé, and I want to keep all my music and production files all on one separate laptop instead of using an external hard drive. Amazing content! All of your videos have given me a different way of thinking in a much clearer way while djing live in front of a crowd, which helps with my transitions, song choice, and crowd control! Much respect all the way from NJ! 🇵🇭
well I wanna win this 'cause i've no laptop for work and ever since I saw your video with all the energy you put into it you gave me the determination to start but I don't have all the means at my disposal, your energy is pure inspiration🔥
Having been an "Apple Fan Boy", I've come to the conclusion that I need to find the "Land of Milk and Honey" when it comes down to a dedicated DJ's laptop. Research done; I've been left awestruck by the XMG DJ 15 performance video and can say that this is the DJ PC to rule them all! I don't think it's possible to state the happiness that ownership of one of these "Bad Boy's" would bring alongside the new creative possibilities such a platform brings... Awesome!
I just got my first DJ controller (Pioneer DDJ-200) and it's quite hard to use it without a computer, this would honestly be a dream come true to win this! Not only would I use it for DJ'ing but I would use it for general school work.
I lost my job during COVID and am using this time to reshape my career as a musician. This laptop would be immensely helpful in my journey and career switch! Thanks for doing the giveaway DJ Carlo 🙏
I'm just barely starting out DJing (about to get my first controller) and can't afford a laptop to perform with, this would help my motivation and growth immensely. and Plus a laptop is just a good thing to have around for school, work, travel, etc. Thanks for the opportunity!
I already started buying equipments to jumpstart my DJ-ing passion and winning this laptop will definitely help significantly. My old laptop needs replacement really bad.
I want to win this laptop because i think the specs are truly superb, especially when you explained that the windows 10 is focused in providing the best sound settings, which is I think the only laptop that ever exist. 🤩. More power DJ Carlo 😄
The speakers may be trash but to be honest I prefer not having banging speakers in it to keep cost down. Also what dj isn't using a decent set ot headphones to preview music and prep?
Hey Carlos, since this video was posted over 2 years ago. What computer do you recommend me buying? I recently just got the DDJ 400 for only $250 CAD brand new.
Been getting tired of moving my desktop everywhere I go, I would love to have a laptop to make life 100x easier! Love your videos keep up the awesome work brotha!
It’s a 2013 MacBook Pro 15 inch with the Core i7 2.7ghz cpu, 16gb memory, 750gb SSD and built in camera running the latest OS Monterey 12.4 (just updated from the pics).
So I’ve been DJing for about about 2 - 3 years now and i’ve been using this old, crusty, HP windows 8, hand me down laptop for so freakin long and it’s not easy getting a brand new laptop at 15 especially when it’s hard getting a job right now. So that’s why I’m entering for this laptop, thanks for reading!
I started learning how to DJ a 4 years ago on my already old and tired laptop, I have to have the buffer set quite high and still have massive sound issues. I've got a great controller, a great PA system, but I've never done a public performance because I know my laptop is not up to standard. I would love to win this laptop so I can get to DJ'ing in public confidently. I love your videos too DJ Carlo, it's great how transparent you are in your product reviews, and your tutorials are so easy to follow, thank you so much.
Thanks Carlo! I’ve started djing with a really tiny and slow notebook until I could afford my first MacBook in 2015 since then I stuck to it and it shows lol. I was never into technical stuff but with the journey of becoming a Djane I learned a lot, things I wish I had known before 😅 I’ve been planning to get a new DJ laptop in the future but didn’t know which one so thanks again for the video and the opportunity to win one 🙌 GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WE ALL DESERVE A GREAT DJ LAPTOP
I want this laptop because Djing is one my dream And i learn a lot from your tutorials videos, that's why i realise being dj is not impossible Mor power to your channel and Godbless
Everyone here needs better computer. But for me it will be only first computer. I watch you now for years. I always wanted to donate, but money always were an issue. As a DJ, I started after you inspired me. I had to find something after I got in trouble in life. I had problems with law and family. I was placed in place for depressed people and they were looking for something for me to get back to life. But I found it myself. I started looking at DJ'ing and started to watch your tutorials. I had a reason to work and I bought myself first controler. SB-3. The same you recommend and show lot of tricks. But the place where I lived was harsh environment. More less year ago one of roommates destroyed my old laptop. Laptop was old and laggy, but worked. Since then I can't play, because of COVID I lost my job and right now my life turned again into a bad way. Now I try to find joy watching your videos, performances and some other happy DJ's. Your smile always brightens my day. Maybe some day I also will have a chance to play for some audience. I wish you best of luck.
My current laptop for DJing is 8 years old and it’s starting to show her age. Having a laptop would make it easier to record my mixes and to start producing my music
I just start DJ in my region (Middle East) and im trying to make the DJ culture here is more mature as its hard to convince the people here how is the music is very important in our lives i really would love to have this laptop to show them the passion and love .
I'm 48 years old and I just started back DJing as a hobby hoping to get a few gigs after this C Virus. I really would love to own this laptop to show my friends that love the Mac Books. Lol
Finally a chance to complete my dream ! I've been playing and recording since I was a kid, a chance to get better hardware at last ! Great review btw !!!!
Nice review! The specs of the laptop was so good. I'm not into dj but I'm currently studying architecture and I'm already in third year. Lack of rendering device is my main problem now. Thank you for the oppurtunity! Keep uploading! A very detailed review btw.
So tired of the Apple adapter jungle, so making the jump to another machine is now. The XMG looks like the one that can do the trick for me. Respect for actually taking the time and effort to create a dedicated dj computer. Only downsides i see is the in-built speakers and graphics. the screen is a bit weak in brightness and resolution. Other than that this machine is crazy good and at less than half the price of an MacBook Pro this is a killer bargain.
I wanna win this laptop because, music is what i love and I was always interested in DJing. Im just learning the craft and I know a good laptop is key for the entire system to run smoothly without crashing. During this pandemic I'm working very hard but Djing in my free time, always relaxes me. Great content bro. Keep it up.
Hey everyone! Ray from XMG here. Ask me anything about the DJ 15!
Hay what’s the battery life
Is it available in Sudan and how much is it?
How does this laptop do for DJ streaming. I’m really interested in it
What about music production? Should be no issue either then, right?
Can the Bluetooth be connected to Bluetooth headphones for casual listening?
I’ve been DJ-ing on my old laptop and using it for my school works too. I’ve been wanting an upgrade for more than 2 years now but haven’t had the budget to do so. I really feel like my current laptop is hindering me from DJ-ing better. I really hope and wish to have a great upgrade like that. Thank you! Been a fan ever since and was fortunate enough to meet you during Manila X. So much love to you man!
This is amazing. I wanna surprise my best friend who’s an amazing DJ with this gift. He truly deserves it.
You can get 96 samples but a glitch ain’t one. Great review Carlo!

Hope your doing okay and get good dj equipment :D

Honestly, the 2012 MacBook Pro one is ideal because you can switch out multiple conponents. Only limitation is the software may no longer be compatible with the hardware. Otherwise, the 2015 retina generation is good, but overall, the best would be the M1/2 ones
@@djcarlo Thanks 🙏🏽 so much Carlo ! I knew I would be able to get the correct information from you ! No need for me to waste money on a 2012 MacBook !
I am a beginner and I really need this laptop. For the first time I am now a resident DJ in a super club. I need this kind of laptop because my laptop is very old and can't afford a new one because of financial problem. I am saving money because I am a college student and at the same time to rent a laptop for a gig. Even though I am a beginner I don't want to ruin my set because it disappoints the crowd. Hoping for a laptop like this sir carlo!
Very cool. I have tried so many times, following people, signing up for classes , referring people you name it. I have given up. I never win. It would be nice. Thanks
I would love to win this laptop as my old one is almost a garbage now. And I can't afford a new one. I want to become a successful DJ one day. Thank you!
Good luck! 😊
I've the same condition as your.
@@renishjain7601 thank you❤
I wanna win this to fullfill my dreams
How is this laptop for music production?
Hey carlo, i have been DJ'ing on my DDJ-800 for about 1 to 1,5 years now, and my current janky laptop is basically on its last legs. Its buffering constantly and it messes up my sets. As a (nearly) broke college student this would definitely be a welcome gift.
I've always wanted to have a laptop so that when this COVID thing is over, I can actually DJ outside of my bedroom.
It is over when we decide to stand-up, drop the mask & carry on. We are now over a year into a 15 day flatten the curve shutdown...
When we all stand up, the game is over.
I wanna win this cause I'm a DJ and a tech savvy 😭😭😭
Cool! And congrats you know where’s “any” key lol! This laptop is definitely for you!
@@djcarlo Yay!! Thanks a lot!😃
No way
Anyone who states they aren't computer savvy has no business or credibility saying something is best.....or is this controversial lol?
On the contrary - we created this machine to make your life easier if you don't know your way around tweaking Windows, which is going to be very true if you've worked with Macs your whole life. As a fellow reviewer, I actually really respect Carlo flat out admitting that he's not a super-nerd about this. He represents a large portion of our target audience, so I appreciate that he's happy with it. // Ray
@@xmg_gg sponsored videos tend to make reviewers really happy
@@chadnliz2k11 I'm sure sponsored videos also have the product manager himself answering hundreds of comments individually on every single review without replying on copypasta. I mean, that's a clear indicator of a company that just throws money at a content creator and doesn't care what happens next :) For the record, we did not pay Carlo or any other reviewer who looked at the DJ 15 for their work. Check out DJCity's Mojaxx or Crossfader's James had to say. Pri yon Joni did a review as well, and Cleveland Terry's review is in the works. We don't have any editorial control over those - all we ever do is provide a fact check when tech specs are being discussed. // Ray
@@xmg_gg if your computer is great for Windows based djs that's fantastic, wish you well. More options are always better. Cheers
@@chadnliz2k11 It is. Thanks! // Ray
I love that it is for DJ software and it has all requirements for any DJ software. Since I love to record my mix's, it would come in handy and run good without any hick ups
Okay.....so when l wanted to start a career in DJing, all attempts to get a teacher failed. And then l decided to go online to "search" l dont remember what l typed in though but all l wanna say is you are the very first DJ RUclips recommended to me and l have been following your tutorials ever since, No teacher physically and l have been able to master the art of mixing by just watching and practicing what you teach. This laptop would really boost my confidence since it would prove my efforts wasn't a waste of time 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi the Problem with windows are the drivers you have to be very careful with it and i dont know when you go online you need a Internet Security or Similar ?? What about Programs from the Internet you can Install everything without hesitation or??
That is true also! Thanks for sharing that tip!
Hey Carlos what laptop do you recommend besides MAC? Thanks
Hmmm, check for the higher spec ones! Im not too well versed with different laptops unfortunately
Hey DJ Carlo....the reason why I wanna win this laptop is that when I use the laptop I am using right now, during the DJ it gets stuck and also the music. So I would like to win this laptop.
Really important question! If it was already answered, then fair I’ll get. But, can I also produce and compose? I want a PC for my stand-alone music. Live sets and production. Serato, Pro-Tools, Reaper, Audacity, on the same unit but not running at the same time. Live all I need is my dj software, but putting all that on a comp can bring it down, even when I’m only using it live, and there is NO excuse for lag or flubs. Can this work as a stand alone unit and still do what I need it to do it, when I need it to do it????
I haven't tried putting all of them in, but based on the laptop's specs, it should be able to do it! Unfortunately, this model is currently out of production, but they're working on a follow up to it!
Thanks for the fast reply, still looking for stand alone computers specifically designed for what I need it to do. Dj, production on the fly when I’m not at home in our home studio. My wife and both produce but at two totally different ends and genres. We keep running into clogging up our computers because they’re basic computers. Any tip into the right direction would be very much welcomed. Also thank you for doing what you do, your tutorials, break downs and reviews have very much been a huge help for me over the last view years. I stopped doing live shows and producing in 2005 and got back in a few years ago. A lot has changed but not really. Thanks for all the help bridging the gap. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Was always searching for a new laptop to dj with. Always looking if there was a laptop dedicated to dj's but never could find one. Here it is now. 🙏
Well... After 33 years in the oilfield I was laid off! Due to Covid the oilfield is a mess! I decided to go into business for myself and I wanted to do something I enjoyed. So I chose something that involved music. At 52, learning to be a DJ ought to be a hoot! I could use all the help I can get! A nice laptop would go a long ways. Thanks, Mark.
My wife DJs and adds karaoke to her services which is why we've stayed away from Mac (way more karaoke software for windows). Sometimes she'll stream a Zoom karaoke show.
1. Is a camera in the screen for zoom?
2. I see it's streamlined to keep audio and USB latency optimised, but my experience with windows is this stuff doesn't last. A Malwarebytes scan can wake up and sabotage a show. Do they offer anything to keep it optimised long term?
I am not a dj, not a producer, not a sound system engineer, not a software developer... but creator of ideas and I have passion for music.
My laptop is absolute trashhh it sometimes freezes in the middle of a gig😯 and i feel like my audio is distorted when I scratch😞 This laptop would be GAME CHANGER! Love your work Carlo
I am an upstart finally exploring a long time desire to be a DJ. I have recently been looking tirelessly for a laptop to fit my DJing needs. I've even recently returned hardware that was not compatible (super headache). This laptop would be a huge help to advancing my career as a DJ.
Your videos are always helpful too!
I appreciate the honesty with the speakers!
I want to win this laptop because I share my current laptop with my fiancé, and I want to keep all my music and production files all on one separate laptop instead of using an external hard drive.
Amazing content! All of your videos have given me a different way of thinking in a much clearer way while djing live in front of a crowd, which helps with my transitions, song choice, and crowd control! Much respect all the way from NJ! 🇵🇭
Hey man just wondering if there is a new version of this laptop or this is still great? Thanks
Unfortunately, they haven't released a V2 yet, and I don't think this one is available anymore :(
@@djcarlo 😓
well I wanna win this 'cause i've no laptop for work and ever since I saw your video with all the energy you put into it you gave me the determination to start but I don't have all the means at my disposal, your energy is pure inspiration🔥
Super cool... i would die for something like this.. Ive been doing gigs with my SB3 and my craptop always messes up.. :(
Having been an "Apple Fan Boy", I've come to the conclusion that I need to find the "Land of Milk and Honey" when it comes down to a dedicated DJ's laptop. Research done; I've been left awestruck by the XMG DJ 15 performance video and can say that this is the DJ PC to rule them all!
I don't think it's possible to state the happiness that ownership of one of these "Bad Boy's" would bring alongside the new creative possibilities such a platform brings... Awesome!
I just got my first DJ controller (Pioneer DDJ-200) and it's quite hard to use it without a computer, this would honestly be a dream come true to win this! Not only would I use it for DJ'ing but I would use it for general school work.
I lost my job during COVID and am using this time to reshape my career as a musician. This laptop would be immensely helpful in my journey and career switch!
Thanks for doing the giveaway DJ Carlo 🙏
I'm just barely starting out DJing (about to get my first controller) and can't afford a laptop to perform with, this would help my motivation and growth immensely. and Plus a laptop is just a good thing to have around for school, work, travel, etc.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Because watching your videos makes me remember why I like being a DJ so much, and I want to have the same smile as you while I practice
Thanks for joining!
Got back into DJing because of you during lockdown and I'm a Pinoy kuya. Salamat 😇
I already started buying equipments to jumpstart my DJ-ing passion and winning this laptop will definitely help significantly. My old laptop needs replacement really bad.
Thanks for joining!
I want to win this laptop because i think the specs are truly superb, especially when you explained that the windows 10 is focused in providing the best sound settings, which is I think the only laptop that ever exist. 🤩.
More power DJ Carlo 😄
The speakers may be trash but to be honest I prefer not having banging speakers in it to keep cost down. Also what dj isn't using a decent set ot headphones to preview music and prep?
Bingo! Really, laptop speakers usually won't cut the cheese, so a good pair of comfy headphones will do that for any DJ!
Hey Carlos, since this video was posted over 2 years ago. What computer do you recommend me buying? I recently just got the DDJ 400 for only $250 CAD brand new.
Yeah, this laptop is unfortunately no longer available and they're still working on a v2. A Macbook Air should suffice!
No unrealistic sob story, Just love Djing and no one works harder then me at my craft!!! love the videos!!!
Yep keep it real man! Thanks for joining!
Been getting tired of moving my desktop everywhere I go, I would love to have a laptop to make life 100x easier! Love your videos keep up the awesome work brotha!
From covid taking away all the gigs and my laptop shooting on me everywhere.... I really need this
Does Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1 work with Serato?
It’s a 2013 MacBook Pro 15 inch with the Core i7 2.7ghz cpu, 16gb memory, 750gb SSD and built in camera running the latest OS Monterey 12.4 (just updated from the pics).
Monterey works with Serato. Check their website for updates on it! :D
at 46 i'm now gonna step into the arena again ! this new way of Djing is quite the new learning curve., dennon Cdjs lets do this
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Would love to try this on our upcoming tour and live stream and give the XMJ the world tour he needs.
So I’ve been DJing for about about 2 - 3 years now and i’ve been using this old, crusty, HP windows 8, hand me down laptop for so freakin long and it’s not easy getting a brand new laptop at 15 especially when it’s hard getting a job right now. So that’s why I’m entering for this laptop, thanks for reading!
I started learning how to DJ a 4 years ago on my already old and tired laptop, I have to have the buffer set quite high and still have massive sound issues. I've got a great controller, a great PA system, but I've never done a public performance because I know my laptop is not up to standard. I would love to win this laptop so I can get to DJ'ing in public confidently.
I love your videos too DJ Carlo, it's great how transparent you are in your product reviews, and your tutorials are so easy to follow, thank you so much.
This laptop looks dope and with that spec list plus the price, its so worth it. I hope i can win so i have 0 lag and lower buffer size when i DJ.
Thanks Carlo! I’ve started djing with a really tiny and slow notebook until I could afford my first MacBook in 2015 since then I stuck to it and it shows lol. I was never into technical stuff but with the journey of becoming a Djane I learned a lot, things I wish I had known before 😅 I’ve been planning to get a new DJ laptop in the future but didn’t know which one so thanks again for the video and the opportunity to win one 🙌 GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WE ALL DESERVE A GREAT DJ LAPTOP
I want this laptop because Djing is one my dream
And i learn a lot from your tutorials videos, that's why i realise being dj is not impossible
Mor power to your channel and Godbless
Thanks for joining!
I'm using my laptop in school and He is very slow...
I start dijing and I want to perform!
Thanks for your chanel! I love it!
Everyone here needs better computer. But for me it will be only first computer.
I watch you now for years. I always wanted to donate, but money always were an issue.
As a DJ, I started after you inspired me. I had to find something after I got in trouble in life. I had problems with law and family. I was placed in place for depressed people and they were looking for something for me to get back to life. But I found it myself.
I started looking at DJ'ing and started to watch your tutorials. I had a reason to work and I bought myself first controler. SB-3. The same you recommend and show lot of tricks.
But the place where I lived was harsh environment. More less year ago one of roommates destroyed my old laptop. Laptop was old and laggy, but worked. Since then I can't play, because of COVID I lost my job and right now my life turned again into a bad way.
Now I try to find joy watching your videos, performances and some other happy DJ's.
Your smile always brightens my day. Maybe some day I also will have a chance to play for some audience.
I wish you best of luck.
Oh. Good luck to you.
My current laptop for DJing is 8 years old and it’s starting to show her age. Having a laptop would make it easier to record my mixes and to start producing my music
I just start DJ in my region (Middle East) and im trying to make the DJ culture here is more mature as its hard to convince the people here how is the music is very important in our lives i really would love to have this laptop to show them the passion and love .
I'm 48 years old and I just started back DJing as a hobby hoping to get a few gigs after this C Virus. I really would love to own this laptop to show my friends that love the Mac Books. Lol
Finally a chance to complete my dream ! I've been playing and recording since I was a kid, a chance to get better hardware at last !
Great review btw !!!!
Where can you purchase them. Can't seem to find where. I'm in the USA
Unfortunately, they're currently sold out. They're working on v2 of this one!
Nice review! The specs of the laptop was so good. I'm not into dj but I'm currently studying architecture and I'm already in third year. Lack of rendering device is my main problem now. Thank you for the oppurtunity! Keep uploading! A very detailed review btw.
I want that laptop because I current laptop can't handle serato even with high latency and it overheats when DJing more than 30 minutes
so where can i buy this laptop in Europe?
Unfortunately, it's currently phased out, but they're working on a follow up to it so stay tuned for that!
So tired of the Apple adapter jungle, so making the jump to another machine is now. The XMG looks like the one that can do the trick for me. Respect for actually taking the time and effort to create a dedicated dj computer. Only downsides i see is the in-built speakers and graphics. the screen is a bit weak in brightness and resolution. Other than that this machine is crazy good and at less than half the price of an MacBook Pro this is a killer bargain.
I wanna win this laptop because, music is what i love and I was always interested in DJing. Im just learning the craft and I know a good laptop is key for the entire system to run smoothly without crashing. During this pandemic I'm working very hard but Djing in my free time, always relaxes me.
Great content bro. Keep it up.
I love the red with the lite up keys, omg since I wear glasses this would be really great for me. Wow I love it.
Theyre quite nice, yeah!
Is it available to order in the US?
It should be! They were able to get it to The Philippines, so the US shouldn't be a problem.
@@djcarlo I tried ordering it but it don't show that they can send to the US 😓
