Laptop minimum Requirements for tunning?
I have decided to learn/do my own tunning, Damm it!!!! LOL.
So right now Im shopping for a good laptop do get the job done. Now I have seen a lot of them on ebay for cheap but before I buy I would like to know what to look for on a laptop.
Now I know that windows Vista is giving everybody problems so beeing that Im new to tunning, I dont need another headhache so Im going with Windows XP.
I probably will do dataloging and I also know I will need to plug a wideband, Is there anything else I will need to plug to the laptop for tunning?
It seems that the majority of laptops have two usb ports but I have seen a few that have three and four, What should I get?
Also what processor works better for tunning?
How fast (GHZ) minimum should I get?
How much memory (RAM) should I get?
Is thre a brand that I should stay away from?
Any other informantion regarding my buying a laptop please let me know, thank you.
I know I saw hundreds of them on ebay, know of any good seller on ebay or do you know of another place that sell good used laptops?
Thank you guys before hand since Im planing on getting mine this weekend.

Honestly almost any current laptop that can handle xp can handle tuning software.
The major things to consider are:
1. Screen size & laptop size.
2. Battery life
3. Warranty or some kind of insurance.
You can buy a new laptop now days for $400 on sale & simply upgrade the battery & ram your self. All new laptops come with vista on them.
