    Default What computer do you use for tuning

    Im curious as to what you guys are using computer wise for tuning software. I know alot of the tuners don't require very much processing power, but im curious if you guys use laptops, desktops etc. I have an Acer Aspire One netbook with an Intel Atom 1.66ghz, 1gb ram. I was thinking this would be great because its tiny and would be quite manageable in the car while tuning. Im just looking for comments, concerns, critiques etc.

    I use a Lenovo s10-2 netbook with a 10.1" screen. Its plenty powerful for tuning. I used to play UT2004 and cs1.6 on it lol. I use Tuner C.A.T.S for modifying tables and reading & writing tunes. I use Freescan and Datamaster to datalog. Mine works almost perfect for tuning, I get about 6hrs of battery life. Only thing I cant do with it is run the software for my wideband o2's. Screen resolution is just slightly too small.

    Ok cool. I just waged to see what others were using. I picked up the netbook for $90 and thought it would be a great tool to keep handy for tuning purposes.
