Question I know it sounds crazy for tuning, but...

wouldn't it be cool to bundle a laptop with ECU tunes?

The new 2-in-1 tablet/laptop like the ASUS Transformer Book T100 would be a nice 'add on' for someone looking for a 10" tablet that could flash update your ECU (something you can't do with an iPad unfortunately)



What do you think of bundling a laptop/ECU cable together so you can have a laptop/tablet to travel with your car and have something that's always available for logging, etc...

they're only $399 (cheaper than most tunes)

I just bought a surface 2. I used a generic obd2 scan tool and software and it worked great. Remember that the surface tablets are FULL windows meaning whatever you want to do on your desktop or laptop you can do on this.

You can always buy it separately and install tune using which ever laptop you want... no?

I bought my surface for portability and Im sure he means the same. Its different holding your ipad or tablet in your hand/lap than the laptop.
