ALLADDIN Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Always happy to be of assistance, Alladidn. Would be interested to know what you think of it when it arrives. Are you tempted to be a guinea pig on a touchscreen fix? If so, I think I may have a solution. Only proviso being that, if it works, details are kept quiet until anyone on here who then wants one has a machine on order. Should have known that our resident TV personality would have one. Part of yet another celebrity endorsement deal was it, Steve? Yes for sure, I will pm you on delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto that - just ordered one can stop borrowing my sisters pink laptop now Use work laptop for everything I need at home but can't install software so plugging into Omex is a no go Not worth me spending £3-400 on a laptop just for plugging into the car Thanks for the headsup WEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Mind you, I suppose I'd better get rid of some of the stack of IBM Thinkpads I've got for garage use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell O'Neill Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Excuse my ignorance here, but what's a machine like this going to be like for pure Internet use and occasional word processor and paint ? I'm thinking it maybe an ideal machine forum 7yr olds ... When it not plugged into the ecu! I've never seen one , let alone used one... Would it be any good for kids?

Steve_Farrimond Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 That's me Chris. TV personality of Northwich. Dave your welcome to mine, if you want to make an image of the HDD. Same goes for anyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Farrimond Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 To be fair they're nothing special. The touch screen is ok, but you just tend to use the mouse like normal. It's small and the key board is small compared to a normal laptop. Screen is too small really. Only positives are the serial port and the fact it's rock solid/waterproof.
