Looking for a small laptop for doing calibration/tooning side work. Normally this would be as easy as going to Amazon or Newegg, but every laptop has these now:



I dislike chiclet keys, but I hate these shitty 'clickpads' even more. They remind me of a time when consumers had their collective heads up their asses and drove all laptop screens to go glossy...making it impossible to get something that doesn't reflect literally everything unless you're in a dark room at midnight. For the same reason, I can't really seem to find laptops with a trackpad and dedicated right/left click buttons anymore. Looks like HP may have one, and an outgoing Lenovo model or two...looking for anything you might have seen in passing that stood out from the rest because it was old (functional). I will also entertain older stuff...had an ASUS F6VE in college that was awesome.

I have one just like this that I use with my HP Tuners. It looks to have the clicker buttons on the bottom, I won't use one that doesn't. Amazon has a better close up picture when you copy/paste the part number to find it.

I don't think they actually sell the one I have because it seems laptops tend to last about 1 year before a new and improved model comes out that is almost exactly the same with some updates. I'd have it for like 1-2 years and it works great.

I went and messed with that one at best buy a few weeks ago. I think I'll use it as a last resort lol. Looks to have some decent hardware, but open to used options.

I just recently switched to a SSD and it sooooo much nicer for tuning. Extremely fast startup and the battery lasts forever compared to all my HDD’s.

I've run SSDs for primary drives in all my PCs for the better part of a decade; no reason not to. But I still plan on smashing this clickpad garbage into a car windshield, SSD and all, once I get a replacement.
