Default Free to collect: Dell XP laptop previously used for VAG-COM

Dell Inspiron 5160 laptop. In use until quite recently to run VAG-COM and VCDS. Could include a generic OBD cable if wanted allowing you to load and run the "free" version of VCDS-Lite.

Fully working on a valid licensed copy of Windows XP Professional and with original installation CD's.

Fast 2.8GHz Pentium 4 processor, 40GB hard disk, 2GB ram, DVD-R/CD-RW drive, latest A08 BIOS version.
TP-link internal wireless-n (up to 300mbps) wifi adapter. Good battery, relatively new, lasts up to 45 minutes.
Up to date (as far as XP can be) with Service Pack 3 and all subsequent fixes. Avast Free antivirus protection.


Would also suit someone who needs to run old software that works on XP but not later versions of Windows, with the added bonus of being useable away from a mains connection for at least a few minutes at a time. Certainly long enough to do a VCDS scan.
