New Computer

Boss: We can manage a new laptop! What kind do you want?

Me: Well it had better run all the ETC system programs. I'll ask for the current recommendation.

I need a true desktop replacement due to CAD, so the small and light stuff isn't important, but power and function are critical. My calls are both new installs and legacy service, in short I need everything. And yes cost is a factor...

So what is the current thinking?

(Perhaps this discussion should be a whole sub group. It is a never ending issue.)

  • Rick,

    ETC Field Service Engineers currently use the Dell Latitude E4300, E6400 and E6500 with

    a Dell Port Extender to accommodate serial port needs.  You can also use either Windows 7 Home or Pro 32-bit versions.  I've attached the Win 7 compatibility guide.http://community.etcconnect.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Discussions.Components.Files/51/4645.ETC_5F00_Windows_5F00_7_5F00_Compatibility_5F00_QuickGuide_5F00_revA_5B00_1_5D00_.pdf

    Hope this helps,

    Dan
