Stick to Technics 1200s when it comes to turntables. That would be like buying a fitted that wasn't made by new era.

do technics hook up to laptops like the stantons?

Pretty much technics are the standard...The technics mk2 used usually go for 500-600 for the set, this one is good because it comes with a cartridge and needle.....as far as the bundle...stanton str-80 are pretty good turntables but you might get bored of them fast and want more torq more scratching and so forth. The bundle kinda sucks, stanton mixers and headphones suck and infinity speakers suck. If you get it for a steal go for it but dont bid too much

Pretty much what everyone here said, Technics are the industry standard.
I wouldn't bother with the stanton str8 80's man. In general you should get direct drive tt's rather than belt drive tt's
I know that numark makes some pretty good direct drive's that go for less than technic's you might want to check those out.
As far as mixers go.. for scratching, Rane-Vestax.
I have two str8 60's and a Stanton allies all star beatdown mixer. THe 60's have lost all torque.
just save your money up and buy some technics and a decent mixer. You can't go wrong, and they will always hold their resale value.
