    Default Mini laptop for tuning with EFI Live?

    http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=10575194

    I am looking for a laptop for tuning only. I was thinking this is small and compact but is it to small and compact?

    Does it even have what is needed for EFI Live?

    Any help would be great , thanks Chad.

    Looks like it should be fine - I assume it is running a regular i368 port of XP.

    works great for tuning, mine's slightly modified but it still worked great when it was stock.

    thanks to all of you. This Dell that you are using, is it the cheaper of the 3? It doesn't say if it is using windows xp like the middle one.

    Any Netbook running Win XP can run EFILive no problem, right now the HP uses a Via C7 processor but the Acer/Asus/Dells use the Intel Atom. All are x86 processors. I want one for taking notes in class, my 17" HP laptop weighs 8lbs and is a bit much to take to classes with small desks.

    If you like the Dell, get it with 1GB DDR2 (add $25) and 16GB SSD (add $40).
