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)

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..

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.

Iunno if a tablet would work though cause they only support

HP Tuners VCM Suite has been designed to work with Microsoft WindowsŽ 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.

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.

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
