    Picked me up the Samsung after taking a look at two "competitors" at the shop ... Samsung won hands down with overall build quality feeling, keyboard, etc ... put on a Ubuntu partition, left some 40+Gigs for XP ... encryption of the XP partition went pretty quick too, only about an hour or so ... Of course, EFILive is on it already, tried to connect to V2, which worked fine, haven't hooked it up to the car yet, though ... don't expect any trouble there either ... only thing that could be a bit bigger is the track pad, but I guess I can get used to it ...

    when you flash a tune to a pcm , the start tab you click to start the loading process is down at the bottom so far that you have to know where it is to click it. there may be a way for me to change that, maybe zooming out while flashing.

    good luck with it, i really like the compactness of the mini for tuning . Glad i chose to save the money for a tune only laptop.

    yeah those buttons are pretty far down there. if you are running XP you can right click on the taskbar down at the bottom and uncheck "lock the taskbar" this allows you to move the taskbar out of the way to see those buttons.
