Needs to be small, netbook size idealy, but be able to store/cope with several large ish(?) programmes, google earth, phone apps like nokia updater, and stuff for the car like lpg software, eml 327, vag com. etc or at least thats what i use. But does that mean a small lappy wont have a proper com port if i need one? It'll be web brousing and pic storing mostly?

Me boyfday is coming up and me Mum sugested an ipad! sigh!

Any recommendations ?

I sold a lappy to a member on here other day, might be what you need, a little larger than a notebook, but I am sure there is one other still at home somewhere. Will I have a look for you? Or are you going fro shiny new one?

Will you want to interrogate live data using "My Naff Code Reader"? May have an impact (Processor speed) though Opelscanner live data seems OK on everything i've run it on.

thank god that was a joke, in danger of agreeing again!

Couldnt have that happen twice in the same year Tunnie, at least one of us would have to see a doctor.

Got an Acer Aspire one Pro here. Been around a while so it's not the latest and greatest but got a pretty good spec. for the money. Feels pretty solidly built and I haven't managed to kill it yet. Came with XP Pro which suited me better than the usual Windows 7 crippled starter that usually comes with a netbook these days (and most of them haven't got the spec. to run it anywhere near successfully IMHO).

As it is I run Ubuntu Netbook on it 99% of the time and only boot XP to map LPG systems on the whole.

If thats the one you were using the other day it looks ideal.
