    Dell inspiron 3000 2-1 support?

    has anyone tried one of the new windows 10 dell 2-1 laptop/convert to table combos for hp tuners?

    it's meant to be a FULL windows system that folds into a table.. trying to figure out if anyone has used it as a scanned already before i buy one.

    As long as it runs "regular" windows (not Windows RT) and has a USB port, it should work fine. Many of us use much cheaper 2-in-1 devices and they work fine as well (for example, I use an Asus T100 2-in-1 all of the time) - it's a tablet that connects to a keyboard dock to make it like a small laptop - and can be had for less than $200.

    If you are actually talking about the Dell Latitude 3000 series, you should be fine (Inspiron 3000 seems to be a desktop?)...

    Agree. Anything running regular windows x86 or x64 with a USB port should work fine
    Post a log and tune if you want help

    +2 : Anything running a proper copy of Windows + USB port/serial adaptor will be OK, imho. I'm just about to buy a high-end convertible from Lenovo myself, to replace my aging Sony... (I don't only use it for tuning ECUs!).

    I ended up ordering a WalkNbook 2 in 1... since i only need it to log and display and not tune it should hopefully do the job.

    Anyone getting a touchpad/laptop might want to check if it charges via USB. Avoids power adapters, extra charging cable, and you never have to worry about battery running low.

    Made by Koomus:

    Picked mine up through Amazon, but it's available on eBay also. Surprised how sturdy it was. Has adjustments to handle a range of widths and the touchpad snaps in and out of the holder
