Default FS- Do you need a laptop for tuning. Step in

I recently purchased several more IBM T41 laptops from my employer. These units are excellent for tuning. Many of the big shops around here are using this very model. I have been selling them for about $350 the last 6 months and bought a batch that needed work at a discount. These were simple things like broken keyboards, bad hard drives, etc... All were repaired to good condition. I am asking $250 for these laptops. I have a total of 5 available. Each was built with an ISO image and has a valid Windows XP Pro product keycode on the bottom of them. If you are interested in a laptop let me know. Here is some of the details.
IBM T41 Thinkpad
14.1" TFT Display
40GB Hard drive
1GB of PC2700 Memory
1.6-1.7 Intel mobile pentium processors
32mb Radeon video chipset
Internal Intel Wireless NIC
CDR/DVD drive

Software
Windows XP Professional
Microsoft Office XP
Win DVD
Record Now
Codec for DVD viewing
Symantec Corporate Antivirus

Here are pictures of some of the laptops. As you can see they are in good condition. Some better then others, but none of them are junk. I will backup my laptops for 30 days

can u use any tuning software with these laptops? might sound kinda stupid but im just starting to learn about tuning. i am looking for a good laptop and i havent decided what software to go with yet. ideally i would just like to get software to log my cars data and have someone make me a tune to put in the car. i hear that hp tuners or efi live are the best way to go. im just not sure which one is more user friendly for someone that knows little about computers.

Sorry Brent they only have USB ports. However I sold a couple to a buddy that tunes bikes (Harley's) and needed a COM port. He was able to buy a converter at Best Buy that worked perfectly.
