looking to pick up HPT some time in the near future and i really wanna give it its own laptop, now i know its not needed, but it will give me a warm fuzzy feeling, i was think bout findin an older laptop formatting it, and just using that...but whats everyone think about gettin an dell mini for strictly tuning?

 

I have a Dell Mini9 for Tuning.. i love the lil thing and the battery last a long time. screen is nice and bright also.

 

i was worried about even the 12 being too small but hows the 9, i mean yea its gotta be a lil more difficult,but is it really bad or pretty dealable?

 

i like it and i get made fun of. i can almost fit it in my leg pocket in a set of BDUs..
i also have a Latitude D820 14.5" screen.. this thing is big, and heavy. but having 2 batterys is nice. it last about 6-7 hours of heavy use. the Mini 9 last about 3-4hr of tuning and flashing PCM..

 

hmm, i think ill pick one up, plus if i dont like it for as cheap as they are i can sell it or let it sit on the shelf.

 

psh.. i should have waited, i paid $500 for that lil sucker!

 

i think im gonna get the 4gb 512 one for 250$ because i found a 32gb solid state disk online for 78$ and 2gigs or ram for it for 22$

 

i got the 16gb 1gb one... and a couple 2gb SD cards.. and a 16gb jump drive.. haha and i email all my tunes and stuff to myself just incase something happens.

 

ive thought about getting one of those $300 netboooks just for tuning since my dell m90 weighs about 12 pounds and the battery lasts 2 hours at most.

 

I have a dell Inspiron 2200, It is about four years old, and I paid 500 bucks for it. very small, and slow. But with just the truck crap loaded on it, it works very well. I also hard wired a 12v charger in the truck.
