laptops
 

with most tuning systems you need a laptop, I was wondering which ones you guys reccomend. I was on ebay and they have alot, but I don't know what to look for, I want a cheap one with just enough to run a tuning system and write papers and stuff.

In the same boat here. A 300mhz system should do fine. I'm looking into the Panasonic ToughBooks.

even a 166 on win 98 would work..

i would def recommend a Gateway or dell due to their dependability, but gateway for their cheaper price. Reformat the drive once u get it and upgrade it to XP. the only reason is cause XP does not crash as much as the W98 or even lock up as much. Had bad experiences with W95, W98 and also ME, but with my new dell 3500 (a year old) and with P4 XP, i am very satisfied, besides the need for RAM. ;D

Heh i doubt you would need much of a laptop pretty shure you could run a 100 laptop if you are JUST gonna tune your car :D

Re:laptops
 

I run a 166 daewoo that i plan to use with my system,a local computer nerd said that should work fine(albiet a bit slow but work none the less)

Re:laptops
 

Look for one that has the serial port in it from the factory. Some of the newer ones don't, and you end up having to buy a card too. I have heard many times, that people have compatability issues when they use the plug in cards.
