Which computer?

Post by DaveEFI »

At the moment I have an Acer Aspire One - a few years old - used exclusively for in car tuning. Running Win7. It is OK, except it takes ages to boot even with an SSD. With Xmas coming, I though I might treat myself to a new one. The screen size is 10.1" and wouldn't want anything smaller, but not much larger either.

I'd probably want to stick with Windows being the devil I know. A discrete serial port would be a big bonus too - but I realise that is unlikely.

I just tune with an ASUS T100. Comes with a detachable keyboard. They have a great battery life as well.

Here's a pic of the T100 when I used to use it. I found the 10" touch screen too small.
It fits inside a battery box.
I now use a Dell Inspiron 1525 with SSD & Win10-Pro 64-bit. It's the "master tuner", now. Stays in the car most of the time.

Both pics, the sun is directly hitting the screen.

The T100 is also top heavy if unsupported which can be annoying, but they are still fairly well priced for what they are.
