After years of using my main (150 lb) rig 5-6 nights a week, I've decided to save my back by putting a smaller playback system together. Mostly for use i my weekly bar jobs. first, i have a AA VMS4 in an odyssey case, a pair of QSC K12's, a pair Carvin Powered Subs (when needed) and a new laptop. I've always hated laptops, except for backup, and was a fan of Rackmount PC's but they have come a long way.
HP DV7 SE:
BASIC FEATURES
* Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-450M Dual Core processor (2.40GHz, 3MB L3 Cache)with Turbo Boost up to 2.66 GHz
* 6GB DDR3 SDRAM
* 640GB (2 x 320GB) 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
* SuperMulti DVD+/-R/RW with Double Layer Support
* 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5470 switchable graphics [HDMI, VGA]
* Built-in HP TrueVision Webcam and microphone
* Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N (ABGN) card
* Integrated Fingerprint Reader
* Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (64-bit)
* 17.3" diagonal HD+ High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1600 x 900)
I'm quite sure VDJ 7 will get along nicely with that laptop

Used a laptop from ten years without fault, how much power do you need to run mp3's and videos?

that's a good laptop spec wise, hopefully it will work out well for you
if you need any help optimizing it , let me know
the powerful 8 gig ram and 1 gig video systems i have allow you to do whatever you want when you want
but they are desktops ... your 6 gig laptop could work very well though especially if you take the time to
optimize it
a powerful well maintained system makes it possible to use a lot of plug ins and to meet demanding
situations like running video with plugins plus FireText
i never stop adding music (think netsearch ) or other wireless downloads , plus i never stop sorting it
even at gigs , so a very powerful system to me is a necessity not a luxury
many times the good stuff only costs a little bit more
