Hey guys can someone help me out on a good laptop for data logging? I currently have a Latitude 2110 with windows 7 32-bit that is getting close to going belly up (cracks on case, screen scratched up, running slow/locking up frequently.) Looking for something a little nicer and bigger with a better battery life. At least a 14" screen. Would prefer another Latitude however there are so many models to choose from and I am not familiar with all the different specs. I use SCT Live Link 6.5 with an x3. Can anyone help me out with what to get or what you use? It will be for strictly tuning/datalog use. Thanks in advance!

Really about any current laptop has plenty of power to do data logging. I would get one with a hard drive instead of Chrome Book without hard drive.
About 300 bucks is what it would cost you for what you need.

just go to a computer shop that refurbs them and get a basic i3 or something. Shouldn't be but $200-300 or so max.
