whatever laptop, it is plastic , but resistant one at that, volume faders feel solid, with a slight resistance to them , much like the eq and filter knobs , the crossfader is very loose as youd expect, a little TOO loose for my taste but also a preference thing, platters are the highlight of the controller , made out of metal and capacitative means very sensitive, also double function, scratch by using the top part (wich is also sensitive and will stop the track just like you would a record by putting your finger on top of it) or you can use it for tempo nudging by using the sidesin conclusion, as youd expect from a numark product, you get a quality device , with what i would call an amazing feature package for the price range @ 150 dollars, and if you add a good external sound card you get a much better deal out of the cash than if you would go for the pro version just for the soundcard, heck youc an buy a cheap 5 buck usb
