Freefaller

Not sure if this is the right place to post. Hello everyone. I am wanting to start back up with my mixing I had a djm800 2xcdjs1000mk3 2x1210mk2 1xaudio 8 1xs2mk1 and a x1mk1 it’s been in storage for over 7 years only got my turntables and djm, s2, audio8, x1mk1 and my old MacBook I have had it up and running but the MacBook has had its day. So I am looking for the cheapest laptop available to be able to run my s2mk1 and also run traktor for turntables through my mixer. any suggestions would be great. Would get a Mac book but need something way cheaper many thanks 🙏

Modern Mac OS can't handle the audio 8 and x1 mk1. For the x1 there is a workaround, but for the audio 8 you would need an older laptop that has it's OS not upgraded in a while.

I think it works on Windows though. So something like a used ThinkPad T14 should do the trick.

I don’t mind switching to a windows operated laptop from MacBook but for the price of the t14 I would as well be I will not be using the x1 if they are any other suggestions windows based just for the s2 and audio 8 thanks for the suggestion lord carlos👍🏻
