How much are you looking to spend? I refurbish laptops and could get you just about anything

40rty 02-22-2012 04:08 PM

Can you get me a Acer Timeline X lappy???

JshLnsctt 02-22-2012 04:24 PM

Currently there are none available broken, so I would only be able to get you one of those used (basically the same availability as you would see though)

40rty 02-22-2012 05:30 PM

Used would be fine

Just get a netbook off of ebay that's what I use for tuning and when I travel away from home, I can tune nonstop 3/4 of a day from morning to dusk and not have to recharge it....spent like 200 on ebay.

Do they make a tablet that would work with hp tuners? I would love something that i could mount on the dash. It would have to take a disc so idk how that would work..

05Slowline 02-22-2012 05:56 PM

why would it have to take a disc

jvirginillo 02-22-2012 05:57 PM

What's your budget? Get me a Cobra H/E and a revised shifter bracket shipped to me and I'll send you a Dell Latitude D630 with Windows XP installed 2 GB RAM 80GB Drive. PM me if interested.

IDK.. don't you have to load it on with the disc or just download it from HPT site? I don't know shit about computers and very surprised i got mine setup lol.

05Slowline 02-22-2012 06:00 PM

yea u can just download the install package off hpt website after you sign in with your serial # and password

chood711 02-22-2012 06:01 PM

you can download it for hpt. what you would have an issue with is finding a tablet with a usb. not to many of those

donkeyballs 02-22-2012 06:09 PM

Hmm.. The wife has usb on her tablet.

donkeyballs 02-22-2012 06:12 PM

It has the mini usb like a ps3 controller can i just use a adapter on that? I just want to use it for logging.

05Slowline 02-22-2012 06:14 PM

Iunno if a tablet would work though cause they only support

HP Tuners VCM Suite has been designed to work with Microsoft Windows® 98 SE, ME, NT4, 2000, XP or newer.

If you can get the software on it to load and function right a mini to usb adapter would prob work.

there are windows tabs and dual boot tabs. or you can run hptuners on your desktop and use logmein on a droid tablet and use that to upload the file. the acer W500 has usb ports and runs on windows. dunno about availability tho.

donkeyballs 02-22-2012 06:17 PM

Can't hurt to try, thanks

volsfan92 02-22-2012 06:57 PM

my budget is around 150 and Idk which ebay one to get if I went that route

05Slowline 02-22-2012 07:14 PM

meh gonna need to go higher than 150, the computer isn't that important, battery life is, trust me it sucks doing a log or two and having to charge lol did that for a few months.

05Slowline 02-22-2012 07:45 PM

meh i've had mine 2 years. probably bouncing it around while it was on ^_^. harddrive is easily fixed tho don't know why you wouldn't just swap out..

volsfan92 02-22-2012 07:47 PM

the cheapest hard drive I can find is like 140.. know anywhere cheap to buy them??

05Slowline 02-22-2012 07:53 PM

is it 2.5" form factor hdd?

Newegg.com - Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD3200BEVT 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Newegg.com - Seagate Momentus 5400.6 ST9320325AS 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive

then just reload the os onto that, you'll need an external drive being a netbook
