Dell Car laptop
I have been offered a Dell laptop at a pretty good price and so am in the process of building it into a dedicated car laptop with Etka and VCDS, and Elsa too if it will fit, which I intend to leave in the car permanently.
As I was doing this, I was wondering if any forum members would be interested in one of these, as I can get a couple more? Its a Dell Latitude D430, which is small and portable, but not the newest on the block (it has an Intel Core 2 Duo @1.33ghz, 1GB RAM and 80GB drive, WiFi and 3G), so far its running Win XP and ETKA 7.4 (running through all the updates now) and I hope to get Elsa on it. I can put Vista or Win7 on it instead, but it would benefit from more memory to do this. Once I have completed the build, its pretty easy to duplicate, so is there any interest from other members at £60 each plus postage?

Sounds interesting..
How old are these? condition? Charger included? I've not purchased my VCDS cable yet, but this would be a good start.

430s will be about 5 years old but work with almost any dell laptop charger (and replacement batteries will be reasonably cheap if it needs one).

Yes, its 5 years old, and in good nick with charger and batty seems to be holding up well too. I also got a docking station with it with the CD drive, but wont be using that in the car as it makes it bigger. Heres a quick snap of it running through the last of the Audi updates.

I will take 1 or 2 at that price if they come with charger and docking bay, no need to install anything.

You can't go wrong with the Dell to be honest even if it's 5 years old and only little spec as thats all what's needed for the use of VCDS and ETKA/ElsaWin.
Price is very reasonable PS. Do you have to change the system time to launch your ETKA and is there a trick to get the updates working as mine 7.3 just wont do the updates.

D430 was a solid laptop.. I still have my D420 from when I worked there, approaching 8 years old and still works fine.
