    I am happy with computer-controller way of doing things. It gives me more freedom to prepare playlists and choose HW setup for given situation (minimalistic, small, big and huge HW setup).

    But I understand others may have different needs and workflows and would prefer controller with Traktor integrated.

    I use tablet like computer (MS Surface 7 Pro), which runs Traktor well, is passively cooled, has touchscreen, is lightweight... Goes well with any NI controller. For me better option to integrated thing...

    Both works but more on a laptop side :)

    A good laptop is more useful than a built in computer and a small screen.

    Also when hardware fails, it is easy to remap things.

    Integrated computers are not preferred much in the control class. Instead, the laptop is definitely very useful. The archive and the software are always with you.

     In 2023, suitable software will be released at the level of mobile phones and tablets, but it will not be professional. The important thing will be to handle the job professionally.

     Alternatively, I should give an example of the working model where you can manage your archive from your computer or phone, connect to the device with your profile wherever you go and transfer your playlist. This is on the Recordbox side.

    It could be modular in the way one would "click in" iPad or MS Surface (or like). Would be sort of standalone and would allow just computer approach when desired....

    Software is far easier to do than hardwate and it takes years already. There is just no enough developers there.

    Hardware proposals would be far more complex, so these would take decades (?)

    I just want controller support for pioneer devices with big jogwheels
