Technology Bites: 00VJ


There's a neat little gadget that has recently been put on the commercial market made specifically for DJs. When someone sees you carrying it, they may get the idea that you're a spy or have some bomb defusing device. PCDJ introduces the 00VJ, the ultimate DJ computer that brags some huge specs to keep you up and running without the glitches and other problems you may encounter with standard laptops at your gigs. Orders are shipping with an Intel Core Duo 2 gigahertz processor, 4 gigs of DDR RAM, HDMI connection for HD TVs, CAT5 port, Blue Tooth, a 16 GB flash card backup and a 2 TB hard drive to store plenty of music and video files. Check the features below.

Most of the forums I have read, many are saying the $4499 (free US shipping) MSRP is a bit steep and have claims to get the same "bang" for less than half the price. However, users who have already purchased the 00VJ and its predecessor the 00DJ, say it's very reliable, is sturdy, but a little too bulky for its size. You can also load up Serato Scratch Live or Traktor.
