ok, my dad has a 2003 Mustang Mach1......he has I believe the Xcal2 tuner in his car. He wants a good laptop that would support a "tweaker"or data logging program so that he can do runs down the track, see the results, and tweak his car using those results. He is getting a program from a buddy, but he needs a laptop to run it.
We are an ALL Macintosh computer family.....I don't like windows ANYTHING.....but Apple doesn't have anything for car tweaking, and it's easier to use windows-based stuff for this kind of thing. I know apple stuff so I could use some info.......
one of my buddies (that has a tweaker and laptop in his juiced stang) said that HP's are not good, and Sony Vaio's and Toshiba's are ok. he also said to get Windows XP.
What do you recommend for him? he just wants a solid platform that will do the job without stuttering/ bogging down for $1,000 or less...that's his cutoff.
any help would be AWESOME.....he want's to get it within this week if he could.....basically, you reccommend one, and we can go from there [thumb]
