Looking to keep this under $80 but closer to $50 is ideal. Got some PA soft for my bmw and looking for a laptop to use it with.

Battery life is the kicker. I have a Dell D630 I’d sell for $80 but can’t promise anything as far as runtime on battery. Last I used it I got quite a bit of juice but I haven’t fired it up in a few months at least.  
I was running Ubuntu on it, I could get XP on there for you I’m sure.

I just picked up an old toughbook on ebay for 80 bought a new battery on ebay for 20 and that thing kicks butt for tuning. I love it. takes a beating and keeps on kicking even has a static drive so even if i drop it during a street tune there is no worries 🙂
