Hi I have this laptop will traktor pro 4 work with it please find screenshot below
Traktor Pro 4 says to require Windows 10, 11 (latest service pack), Intel Core i5 or equivalent CPU, 4 GB RAM and Graphics hardware support for OpenGL 2.1 or higher.
On your computer then at a glance then I do not know if the i7-7500CU is the equivalent of an i5 CPU ? , it might be but I am not sure.
I am never sure just how low power the U chips are. Obviously the fact that the minimum spec for Traktor is an i5, says it should work, but that spec is extremely vague, and it's a six year low power chip.
I think it probably would, but you might not be able to run 4 decks with a lot of FX.
You can always download the free demo of Traktor Pro 4 and give it a try. It works for 30 minutes before you have to restart it so it's ok for testing. And possibly very short gigs.

I had issues with older Dell laptops and bad CPU spikes with Traktor. It took me quite a while to narrow the issue down. It turned out to be the Dell Support app constantly checking things. I uninstalled the Support app. And it worked much better.
I also had issues with Headphones not being recognized if they were not plugged in at startup.
But other than that I did keep my similar Dell working with Traktor for about 4 years. Also be sure to try different ports for the DJ controller if you have issues.
If you choose to uninstall the support application, be sure to first update everything. You can install again from Dell online to check for updates. But I believe that computer is at least 6 years or so old. So you might be fine not needing support.
I also minimized CPU spikes by disconnecting the battery and only using the power supply.
Most the new PC laptops after 2020 seem to work fine for me, anything around the $800usd price seems to do fine. Currently I am using a 3 year old Asus Rog.
