Ive been looking at various laptop companies that sell a laptop with adapters. Ive been looking to pull the trigger for a few months and reading various threads on here. I have a glider a W9 with a 1996 Detroit 12.7.
Im looking for a laptop with full dealer capabilities. Im assuming id have to pay a yearly subscription because I dont want anything thats been pirated and id need the ability to update the software.

Need a Diesel laptop
