what model and brand of laptop are you guys using that has a serial port built into it from factory?im looking to just load xp on it and aem software. im tired of fighting the laptop and ecu using this usb to serial adapter.any recommendations or anyone have a laptop already for sale that has worked for this?

 

I picked up an older dell with serial and xp. got it at geeks online. that was several years ago. if you can't find anything else let me know. its problem is it won't go online.

 

IBM T23 for me...

 

Dell Latitude D620 for me. Works like a charm.

 

New MacBook w/ USB to Serial adaptor, and parallels desktop running windows XP.

 

Want to get one of those Notebooks that run Winxp. They make a few that are small and simple that have serial ports. You can find them for cheap on Ebay. Hate to keep knocking my nice laptop around in the passenger seat.

 

Dell Latitude D820, couldn't be more pleased.

 

+1 for the macbook! Runs windows or MacOS gotta love that!
