So I wanted some input as to what you guys think would be the cheapest / most effective windows laptop or netbook for JB4 diagnostics in the car via USB.

Any opinions? Ideally, i'd like a cheap as dirt and somewhat reliable netbook with decent battery life so I can just leave the laptop in the car and run diags as I see fit.

acer dual-atom (2gb ram, 10", 240gb)... mine is rounding 2 years and can still be my primary pc (though it isn't). it's down to about $220 now.

it's perfect for email, browsing (use chrome, very noticeable difference on a netbook), office apps, and playing songs/videos. and of course, retro games! i think they've included hdmi out now also. the battery's fine, and pretty cheap/easy to get a 2nd
