setup. I have been shopping around for awhile for a decent
laptop to run onboard diagnostics and data logging. After
looking over all the netbooks and mini pcs, I have settled on a
normal sized dell laptop: The Dell Vostro A860. It's only 430
dollars right now with fantastic specs for the price:Vostro A860 "Productivity Package" Intel® Pentium Dual Core M® T2390 (1.86GHz, 1M L2 Cache,
533MHz FSB)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic, Service Pack 1, English
Microsoft® Works 9. Does NOT Include MS Word
1GB,DDR2,800MHZ
8X DVD+/-RW
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
120GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
Wireless Networking 802.11b/g
Modem, 3-1 Reader, 1394 Firewire, PCMCIA Included
Wireless Bluetooth Internal (2.0 + Enhanced Data Rate)
Free Microsoft Office Live Small Business
15.6 inch Wide Screen HD LCD Display
6 cell Lithium Ion Battery
Windows Vista® Basic I plan on installing XP on it, and upping the RAM to 2gigs. You
can get an even cheaper version for 350 that does not include
a DVD burner, only CD burner, smaller 4 cell battery and no
bluetooth. I am opting for the above package because
bluetooth will be beneficial for a wireless mouse and bigger
battery is of course better for longer runs. The machine looks sweet too!
