Hey guys, Im looking to buy a mini laptop to use HP Tuners while sitting in my car. This will be the only thing the computer will be used for. The thing is that most mini-laptop dont come with CD Drives.

Can I install, run and upgrade HPT without a CD Drive? Of course it would be connected to my internet wireless network.

Thanks!

download the software, or using a computer that does have a cd drive, burn a image of the disk using powerISO or whatever.........and then save it to a thumb drive and install it off the thumb drive to your netbook

Just download it and save to your hard drive or a thumb drive. You don't need a CD. I don't have one on mine. Hell if you get the beta version of HP Tuners it isn't even on a CD. It's a download.

I bought a $40 mini cd drive thats powered off the laptop. Because I bought a $300 dollar net book just for the car. One I got has XP so no windows 7 but battery lasts 6 hrs. Thats what I like best...

Now we use the HP Tuners 2.23 BETA on all the tuning. Its a cleaner look, with more tuning options to change, but a differant look and you have to get a feel for it. I recently did a 2010 Gen5 camaro and there is a ship load of setting for tuning.
