What do you tune with (computer)
I just made my first purchase towards turbodom (besides the last 4 months and a few grand for a rebuild and little bits here and there), which is a Samsung NC10 netbook. Should make a fine machine to run Megatune on. Little over 2lbs and 10.2'' screen, so its tiny, light weight easy to store out of sight in the car. Actual MS will come next. What fun little goodies do you people use? Pictures much welcome. I have no pictures as I just purchased it online earlier today.

I use my Dell Latitude D620 to tune. It's my everyday laptop and has a serial cable. Damn thing costed a fortune new, but works well overall. No pictures though. At one point I bought a cheap old laptop to use to tune for MS, but I sold it since I didn't really need it as I already have a laptop.

Ive never had a laptop, or had a need for one till now. I would have gone cheap and used, but since Netbooks are somewhat reasonable in price, I figured why not. Might as well go all out while Im doing it. Might even be handy for other things. Steal someones wireless connection while out and about tuning around town to download maps Take that hippies.

I used an old Dell Latitude CPx that I bought from a forum member for $50. I was using my $1500 Dell but didn't like the wear and tear I was putting on it.

Thats what Im hoping for. I made the mistake of buying a pre built desktop recently instead of building my own like I said I would only do from now on, and HATE IT! Im hoping this little guy will be my only computer. I went with the Samsung because of the battery life, which everything I see so far says 5-7 hours while using wireless connection and running multiple apps. Should be handy for playing around on the net while on the toilet
